Everything you read and refer online should pass through this test.

CURRENCY: How recent is the information? RELEVANCE: Is it of appropriate level to cite in your paper? AUTHORITY: Who is the author or publisher? ACCURACY: Can you verify the information elsewhere? PURPOSE: Why was the source created? Is the information fact, opinion or propaganda? Try to collect both primary and secondary sources.
