Evaluating Internet Research Sources
Robert Harris developed the CARS approach to determine quality of information (material applies not only to information found on the Internet)
| Credibility – authoritative |
| Accuracy – correct, current, gives the whole truth |
| Reasonableness – fair, balanced, objective |
| Support – supplies documentation |
