Website Evaluation

The internet has made it feasible for each person to publish web pages. Most web sites have now not passed through an evaluation system for inclusion in a group, while the sources inside the Library’s subscription databases have. For these reasons, you need to carefully evaluate any Internet sources you discover to make sure they comprise balanced, factual records. Reliable net sources can also encompass peer reviewed journal articles, authorities reports, conference papers, enterprise and professional standards, clinical papers, information reviews, and brief facts and figures. However, understand that just because a website is properly presented does not suggest that it contains correct information. Here are some criteria you can look for in Internet resources to determine whether or not they are reliable assets of statistics.
