How to evaluate websites

Information found on the Internet requires particular attention, as anyone can create a website and post information without review or consequence. It is essential to examine and determine the validity and accuracy of the information published on websites.

  • What is their particular expertise on the topic? Many sites with reputable authors will include biographical and contact information.
