How to evaluate (and cite) Internet resources
The 5 pieces of
information we need to
cite a website.
• Publisher
• Publication date
• Author
• Website Title
• Webpage Title
Why are you using the
Internet?
• Quick info for general knowledge?
• Background info before starting your real
research?
• Research for academic purposes?

Research requires reliable and credible sources
So…what's wrong with using
Wikipedia???
• You never really know who the author is and anyone
can write and/or edit the entries.
• If we don’t know who the authors are….how do we
determine if they are a reliable and credible source?
• Examples:
Introducing
•Authority
•Bias
•Currency
•Accuracy

ABCA
• Authority indicates whether the author is recognized as a expert in
that specific area of knowledge.
• Who is the author or the person responsible for the information on
the page?
• Are they knowledgeable, qualified and reliable?
• Is the author an expert in this field? What evidence can you find
for this?
• Is there a way to contact the author?
• Is the author part of an organization?
• Does the domain name or URL reveal any information about this
site?
• Dihydrogen Monoxide Research Division

Authority
Let’s cite it:
• Dihydrogen Monoxide Research Division

•
•
•
•
•

Publisher =
Publication date =
Author =
Website Title =
Webpage Title =
• Websites used for research should not be biased.
• That means they present factual information without
personal prejudice.
• Ask yourself: What is the purpose of the page? To teach?
To sell? To persuade? To entertain? To complete a class
assignment?
• What do you think of this website which came up in a
Google search for information on tobacco?
• Friends of Tobacco

Bias
Let’s cite it:
• Friends of Tobacco

•
•
•
•
•

Publisher =
Publication date =
Author =
Website Title =
Webpage Title =
• When was the site last
updated?
• Are there a lot of dead
links?

Currency
• Where does the information come from? Are there
references or works cited information?
• Are there grammatical, spelling, or typographical errors?
• Does the information conflict with things you learned in
school?
• A Brief Introduction to Holocaust Revisionism
• Introduction to the Holocaust

Accuracy
Let’s cite it:
• Introduction to the Holocaust

•
•
•
•
•

Publisher =
Publication date =
Author =
Website Title =
Webpage Title =
You decide:

Is this a reliable website
for school research?
Let’s cite it:
• All About Explorers

•
•
•
•
•

Publisher =
Publication date =
Author =
Website Title =
Webpage Title =
Can I use these sites for
school research?
Website evaluation takes too much
time!
Isn’t there some other way?

Wc web evaluation lesson 6th

  • 1. Trash or Treasure? How to evaluate (and cite) Internet resources
  • 2. The 5 pieces of information we need to cite a website. • Publisher • Publication date • Author • Website Title • Webpage Title
  • 3. Why are you using the Internet? • Quick info for general knowledge? • Background info before starting your real research? • Research for academic purposes? Research requires reliable and credible sources
  • 4. So…what's wrong with using Wikipedia??? • You never really know who the author is and anyone can write and/or edit the entries. • If we don’t know who the authors are….how do we determine if they are a reliable and credible source? • Examples:
  • 6. • Authority indicates whether the author is recognized as a expert in that specific area of knowledge. • Who is the author or the person responsible for the information on the page? • Are they knowledgeable, qualified and reliable? • Is the author an expert in this field? What evidence can you find for this? • Is there a way to contact the author? • Is the author part of an organization? • Does the domain name or URL reveal any information about this site? • Dihydrogen Monoxide Research Division Authority
  • 7. Let’s cite it: • Dihydrogen Monoxide Research Division • • • • • Publisher = Publication date = Author = Website Title = Webpage Title =
  • 8. • Websites used for research should not be biased. • That means they present factual information without personal prejudice. • Ask yourself: What is the purpose of the page? To teach? To sell? To persuade? To entertain? To complete a class assignment? • What do you think of this website which came up in a Google search for information on tobacco? • Friends of Tobacco Bias
  • 9. Let’s cite it: • Friends of Tobacco • • • • • Publisher = Publication date = Author = Website Title = Webpage Title =
  • 10. • When was the site last updated? • Are there a lot of dead links? Currency
  • 11. • Where does the information come from? Are there references or works cited information? • Are there grammatical, spelling, or typographical errors? • Does the information conflict with things you learned in school? • A Brief Introduction to Holocaust Revisionism • Introduction to the Holocaust Accuracy
  • 12. Let’s cite it: • Introduction to the Holocaust • • • • • Publisher = Publication date = Author = Website Title = Webpage Title =
  • 13. You decide: Is this a reliable website for school research?
  • 14. Let’s cite it: • All About Explorers • • • • • Publisher = Publication date = Author = Website Title = Webpage Title =
  • 15. Can I use these sites for school research?
  • 16. Website evaluation takes too much time! Isn’t there some other way?
