INFORMATION

In internet, we have several resources that are not reliable such as Wikipedia, Scribd, The Hidden Wiki, Yahoo, and El rincón del vago, but how we can find reliable resources.

How we can find a good source of information:

• Google Scholar is a good resource to find reliable information such as PDF, books, articles, and many others materials.

• Check the author’s credentials. For this, we need to identify the author or company who edited or published that or if is certified or not.

• Look at the statistics. You can see how many people, comments or entries that this website has. If you see that this website has many items like those, it means that it is reliable.

• Check the website itself. For this, you just need to analyze how good or professional it looks. If it is well designed or contains advertisement, you can look if it is helpful or not.

Please, check this website out and analyze if is reliable or not.

Fake Information

To see if it is professional or reliable, we have certain tips to take into consideration.

• The author does not appear on the website.
• It does not have any bibliographical reference.
• It may be grammatically incorrect, and it may lack of punctuation marks.

To prove this, I will make a research. My topic is how kids can be safe on Internet. The first thing that I will look is a website.

Please click on this word to go to the website.

Explanation: While checking this website, I could identify some essential aspects which are related to appearance and advertisements. I could enter and notice that the colors and the design have some appeal. However, I saw that the information was not believable.  This information may not be taken or even used for formal documents because it does not contain any bibliographical reference to prove the information. The author does not appear on the website. That’s why I would not recommend this website in case someone asks me for recommendations.
