Evaluate all information carefully. Web sites present additional challenges. Use the evaluation criteria below to determine the quality of information sources.
#1: Authority
#2: Accuracy
#3: Objectivity
#4: Currency
#5: Coverage / ( who's responsible? )
( is this for real? )
( what's the bottom line? )
( how timely is this? )
( what's included? excluded? )
A good researcher uses a standard citation format to identify the information used and give credit to its creator. Consistency is crucial.
