How do I find reliable websites for my paper?
Answer
To find reliable websites:
- Visit theLibrary Resources for articles from credible, college-levelsources.
- Explore theResearch Guides to see reliable websites for the class.
- Use a Google Advanced Search to limit the results to just .org (non-profit), .edu (educational institutions), or .gov (government) websites. This will also let you limit to a date range.
- Use Google Scholar for scholarly articles.
Tips for finding reliable websites:
- Make sure the website is recent or has been updated.
- Use websites that cite sources.
- Look for credentials or education of the website author.
- Do not cite Wikipedia or similar user-edited sites.
Search tips:
- Always use keywords, not a sentence or a question.
- Use quotations marksaround phrases such as "medical marijuana"
- * (asterisk) is a wildcard--example: nurs* will search for nursing, nurses, etc...
- In Google, - (minus) will exclude a certain word (-university).
- In a Google search, use ~ (tilde) to search for similar words (~college will also find university).
