When you are working on your academic papers, you are responsible for ensuring the integrity of your work. If you begin research on a topic for a paper and you conduct an Internet search, you may retrieve a number of different websites that could provide information relevant to your topic. What do you look for in order to determine if a Web site would be a suitable source for an academic paper? What factors would cause you to “weed out” a site and not use it? Discuss the criteria you would use to evaluate which websites might be most appropriate for you to use and why these criteria are important. Provide an example of a suitable source and an unsuitable source. Provide rationale for your choices.
