4.3 Validity

Whether the information is valid, or up to date, depends on your research question and the purpose of the information.

Ask yourself the following questions to assess whether the information is valid or current:

• When was the information published? 
• Is the information still correct, or is it outdated?
• Does the information correspond with other sources?

Please note! Some websites automatically update the date of a page. This does not necessarily mean that the information is up to date.
