It’s Online But Is It On Target?
Research with Attitude
Conduct your research
with the attitude of a skeptic. As you examine websites for clues that they’re
really trustworthy, ask these questions:
· Who wrote the Web page?
If you can’t identify the individual or organization responsible for the
information, don’t use it.
· What are the author’s
qualifications for writing on the subject?
· Has the article passed
through an editorial process designed to ensure quality and accuracy?
· What is the website’s
purpose? Look for motives- like selling products or winning votes- that could
result in biased or incomplete information.
· Is the information
accurate? Is it up-to-date?
· Where did the author
get his information?
· Choose The Right
