Online Research Gains Credibility
August 16th, 2010 by ComputerBob
If you went through high school, college or graduate school after the creation of the World Wide Web, you know that educators did not consider online research sources to be credible or authoritative.
Though it’s going to be difficult for many online sites to establish themelves as authoritative, a few of them are slowly gaining some credibility.
For example, “In a 2005 study, scientific journal Nature found, based on a survey of articles pertaining to various disciplines, that Wikipedia was on a par with Encyclopedia Britannica when it came to the accuracy of information within.”
It’s no longer your father’s Internet.
But don’t quote me on that.
