It’s Online, but Is It On Target?
Part 2
Research with Attitude
Conduct you
research with attitude of a skeptic. As you examine websites for clues that
they’re 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 this information?
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
