1. There are many factors that make an online resource valid, appropriate and legitimate .

Whenever you are


looking at a source on the internet, you should check several things to verify that the information is credible. These
things include the source's authority, accuracy, objectivity, currency, and coverage.

2. Not all sources are reliable, no matter how sound their arguments may appear to be. To
evaluate the reliability of a piece of writing, you must consider several issues related to the
subject and to the person or publisher that presents it. Is the information current? Is it related
directly to the topic it discusses? Does it provide sources for supporting ideas? Are these
sources reliable? Is the purpose of the information to inform, to persuade, to sell, or even to
entertain? Has the information been written and published recently? Does a date of publication
appear? Finally, who is responsible for the information? Is an author or publisher listed at all?

3. Authority - Identify the author(s) and whether they are experts in their field.

Scholarly - Note the source where the information appears. 


Objectivity - Use reasonably presented information.
Relevancy - Make sure the level of information is appropriate for your research.
