Who
generates information? Skill, time, facilities, and $$ are
general prerequisites needed to conduct original, scientific
research.
For this reason, most authoritative
information is originally provided by well-funded universities,
government agencies, and large not-for-profits. Keep
in mind this concept of who
is capable of generating information while
researching on the Internet.
Anyone can post anything without an editor to check the
facts.
A fast and popular research method is to use the
first 10 search results on Google.
However, this method does not discriminate for
quality web sites.
