Scholarship
To help decide if a website contains scholarly material, try looking for these clues:
- The publisher
- The author's affiliation with an institution, corporation, or university
- A bibliography/references
- The quality of the content presented
Ask yourself:
- Is the document supported with cited references?
- Does the page give any evidence that the author is an expert on the subject?
- Does the author display knowledge of the subject area?
- Does the website say the resources is peer-reviewed?
