Editor's Notes
- Search Engines are a great place to start when it comes to Internet Research. Rules: Never cite a search engine!!!!!! Scrutinize the Website where the information is located Look for and search for information on the author of the information Look for a well known and reliable source, Major News Network like the BBC, Books, Scholar and Professional Journals Use Google Scholar, as an added bonus it allows you to see a citation for the information in the proper, MLA, APA, etc…, citation format. Know and use alternative search engines other than the Big 3- Google, Yahoo, Bing Always find multiple sources to cite for the information, and then choose the most creditable looking one. How do you know if it’s creditable? Use a search engine and search on the source. Know your audience!!!! You would never want to cite Wikipedia in an academic work.
