This document provides guidance on how to identify credible sources when conducting research. It outlines 5 questions to consider: 1) Does the information seem too good to be true? 2) Who wrote the information and what are their credentials? 3) When was the information written and is it up to date? 4) Can the information be verified through other sources? 5) Does the tone or style of writing reflect credibility? Examples are given for each question to illustrate how to determine if a source is reliable based on the answers.

There are five main criteria for evaluating whether a website is suitable for research: relevancy, authority, objectivity, currency, and suitability. A researcher should consider whether the information is on-topic, who authored it and their credentials, whether it is fact-based or opinionated, how up-to-date it is, and whether it is at an appropriate level for the intended audience and purpose. Researchers should critically evaluate websites using these standards and determine if higher-quality sources exist before citing a website in academic work.Information Evaluation

This document discusses how young people are adept at using technology to find information but often struggle to evaluate its credibility. It provides questions to ask when evaluating online information, including "Who is the source?", "What am I getting?", "When was the site created?", "Where am I?", "Why am I here?", and "How can I tell this is a quality website?". The document then analyzes a hypothetical blog claiming to provide information about "pherotones" and determines it is likely not a credible source through investigating factors like the author's credentials, currency of the information, and nature of the hosting website.
