Conducting Research Online

How can I tell which Web resources are reputable and which do not list accurate information?

As with any source, it is important to know the accuracy of the information you are accessing. As you will find with any publication, the information on the Web can be biased, missing details, or simply incorrect.

Certain Web sites are better to use than others, in regards to providing correct information for your research. For example, some Weblogs are written and maintained by field experts who publish up-to-date information that may be very useful and interesting for your research. Other Weblogs are written by individuals who have a superficial understanding of a particular subject and publish dubious information. Read more in our article How to Conduct Research Online.
