9 Source Type: Webpage Cues

Websites can add context or up-to-date perspectives to support your research, however their quality and reliability vary widely. Evaluate the authority, accuracy, and purpose of a website before using it in your work. Blogs, commercial sites, or opinion pieces, may be less reliable or biased, and should be used with caution. Websites—such as those from governments, universities, research institutions, and reputable organizations—can provide credible and current information, especially on policies, statistics, or emerging issues. Gray Literature was introduced as a source type in Chapter 5. The second webpage example illustrates this category.
