Search Google for your topic keywords. Look for government, education, and/or organization webpages as well as news/magazine publications. If researching controversial topics, be aware of biased publications. Google Tip! Limit to a domain by including site:.gov, .edu, or .org in the search box.
Before using information found on a webpage, consider the following criteria to evaluate its credibility.
- Who is the author?
- What are his/her qualifications?
- Why was the website created?
- When was it last updated?
- How reliable is the information?
