How Do I Determine What Websites to Use?

You must determine if the information on the website you are using is reputable. Reputable – considered to be of an acceptable standard; useable For our uses if the information comes from a reputable website you may considered it factual.

Today we will be determining the difference between reputable website and ones that will not provide you with factual or useful information for historical research. There are four criteria / approaches that you can determine if the website is reputable and therefore the information found on that website is usable/factual. 1.Domain Name 2.Publisher 3.Citation 4.Author

Domain Name - (educational - edu, nonprofit - org, commercial - com, government - gov, etc.) Examples – yahoo.com is a commercial (.com) site harvard.edu is an educational (.edu) site Use the domain name to help you choose. Educational and government websites have a better reputation for usable information than.com’s or even.org’s.

Publisher In general, the publisher is the agency or person operating the "server" computer from which the document is issued. The server is usually named in first portion of the URL (between and the first /) Have you heard of the publisher before? Does it correspond to the name of the site? Should it? What is the publisher of this site? Is it reputable?

Citation – Does the site tell you where they got the information? Are the sources documented? Are the sources that are documented reputable? ki/John_locke John Locke was a philosopher who came up with the idea of all humans being born with the right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Property.

Author – use Google to find out information about any the author(s) given on the website.
