Q&A for How to Do Internet Research

Internet safety protects you online. When doing research, it may include using only well-documented sources and not sharing personal information.

To ensure that information found on the internet is accurate and reliable, try using sources you trust. Information is considered accurate if the human looking for them trusts the source as accurate. Also, if you use sources which are USUALLY considered accurate, and you want to ensure the information is good, try finding other sources that support the same type of information. Sources from competing websites who are willing to give the same information is a good place to start!

It depends on your search topic. You can use any search engine that fits your needs. If you are trying to find peer-reviewed, reliable, academic sources, you may want to use a search engine like Google Scholar though.

If you use highly regarded, respectable resources, the information you get from them is more likely to be correct, accurate, and relevant.
