It’s online, but is it on target? Part2


                     Research with attitude
Conduct your research with the 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 purpose? Look for motive 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
