Internet Credibility

I think it can be hard to distinguish between credible sites and something a high school chemistry student wrote... The primary way I check is to see if the information on one site can be found on multiple other sites. This can be a simple way if multiple other sites have completely contrasting information. Another way can be if the site is a college or university website. This can usually be trusted. Otherwise sites like encyclopedia brittanica are always good. Also depending on what you are looking for there are specific sites that can be trusted, like, for example if you need information on drugs or diseases the CDC is always a good site to check out. Other than that I try to use my instincts to decide if the information could be false.
