Assessing websites

Anyone can publish on the Internet. That means there is a lot of reliable but also a lot of unreliable information out there. There is often no quality control by an editor or peers. So when you get information from the Internet, you have to be extra critical (see choose sources of information).
Commercial interests may play a role on the Internet. Therefore, you should pay close attention to the independence of websites.
