How can I tell if a website is reliable or not?
According to Julie Smith, MS, RD, most reliable Web sites
list background information about the organization supporting
the Web site and the writers who provide information for it.
If sponsorship information is missing...BEWARE. It may mean
that the creators of the Web site lack training to provide
accurate information. If credentials are provided read them
carefully. Is the site supported by accredited institutions
or reputable organizations? Is the information based on sound
science? Many Web sites present biased, unsupported information,
not scientific facts. So be sure you are getting information
based on facts - and getting it from respected authorities. |
