Evaluating Websites

Anyone can publish on the internet. Always evaluate a website to make sure it is a reliable and authoritative source. 

Ask yourself these questions: 

Authority

  • Is the author/producer easy to identify?
  • Are the author's credentials listed?
  • Is the author's affiliation easy to determine (e.g. university, government)

Content

  • Are there errors or discrepancies on the site?  
  • Is the content appropriate for your needs?
  • Is there sufficient coverage of the topic?

Currency

  • Can you find the date that the site was created?
  • Was the site updated recently?
  • Do the links on the site work?

Objectivity

  • Is the information factual or opinion?
  • Is the site trying to sell something that seems too good to be true?  
  • Is the information consistent with other sources you’ve found?
  • Is the source of the information provided?
