Quick Write: Critical Review of Online Sources

A few critical approaches to finding credible sources for papers and research are checking to see if the article has sources (from there check those sources), using trusted sites such as "Google Scholar," checking to see who funds the site, checking to see if the article is opinion based or research based, reading the "About Us" section of the Website, checking the domain, for example, .edu VS. .com (most of the time .edu sites are more credible than .com sites), and making sure to check the date the article or other source was published--the most accurate information is usually the most recent.
