The document outlines a system created by students to evaluate the credibility of internet sources. The system consists of checking 6 factors: 1) the author's authority and qualifications, 2) the sponsoring institution, 3) evidence of author bias, 4) how current the information is, 5) whether credible sources are cited, and 6) the type of website. It also recommends checking Snopes.com to verify claims. The students developed this system after researching how to identify credible online information and looking at various evaluation techniques and websites on the topic.

G N E D Web
Web resources can provide up-to-date information quickly and conveniently. However, anyone can publish anything online without verification. Evaluating web resources carefully is important because accuracy is not guaranteed. Key factors to consider include the content, authority and viewpoint of the source, proximity of the source to events, and overall accuracy and timeliness of the information provided.
Can you trust_the_web
The document discusses how to evaluate information found on the web through careful analysis. It provides four key steps: 1) examine the URL and publisher to determine potential biases, 2) investigate the author's credentials and expertise on the topic, 3) check the date to ensure currency, and 4) analyze the purpose and potential biases in presentation of the information. The document stresses the importance of skepticism when evaluating online sources, as there are no standards regulating information accuracy on the web like in published sources.
Evaluating web sites
This presentation discusses how to evaluate the accuracy, authority, objectivity, and currency of websites. It outlines criteria for each category, such as checking that authors are qualified and can be contacted for accuracy; that credentials and domain names indicate legitimate authority; that information is detailed and unbiased rather than advertising; and that content and links are recently updated. The presentation advises considering these factors altogether to determine a website's value for research.

Is my source credible?
This document discusses how to evaluate the credibility of sources for research. It defines a credible source as one that can be trusted, is agreed upon by other sources, is up-to-date, comes from a respected author or organization, provides clear information about the author/organization, and is not biased. It notes that Wikipedia can be edited by anyone so its accuracy cannot be guaranteed, while .edu, .org, and .gov websites tend to be more credible. It provides tips for evaluating sources like checking copyright dates, references, and professionalism of the website.

This document outlines the CRAP test for evaluating information sources. The acronym stands for Currency, Reliability, Authority, and Purpose/Point of View. It provides questions to consider under each category to determine how up-to-date, accurate, authoritative, and objective a source is. Additional tips include checking the author's credentials, publication details, bias, intended audience, and domain type (e.g. .edu, .gov, .com) when evaluating a source. The goal is to critically examine sources and identify unreliable, biased, or outdated information.
Web Site Evaluation, Cultural Research
This document discusses criteria for evaluating the trustworthiness and reliability of information found on websites:
Credibility refers to the qualifications and trustworthiness of the source of the information. Accuracy means the information is consistent with other reliable sources and not obviously false. Bias/objectivity examines whether all viewpoints are represented or if the purpose is to entertain, persuade, or inform. Timeliness considers how recently the information was published and whether outdated information would impact its usefulness. Relevance evaluates whether the information is appropriate for the intended audience and topic.
