It is written by a doctor, it is a
fairly recent article regarding, symptoms and different types of internet

some knowledge with internet addiction.

Why is this credible?
Doing further research in the author
he has done tons of articles on internet addiction. I tend to be more trusting
of government sites only because they have a reputation to uphold.

Why is this credible?
It is published on the Stanford
school of medicines website, they are known to be pretty reputable. It is
written by a medical doctor, the only problem with it, is it is a little out of
date.
Summary:
If you search diligently on the open web you
can find good credible sources for your research the trick is to use your
skills of reason, we probably have used A.S.P.E.C.T or something to that effect
without knowing it because we use reasoning we have learned over the course of
our lives to help decipher the credibility or a source. I use this when I am doing research and have
been using it for a number of years, this class however has helped me fine tune
these skills. I found it relatively easy to locate the type of sites I wanted
to use in my research
Hi, Erica;
ReplyDeleteWell done. It sounds like you are a critical consumer of online information, a valuable skill for life. You selected credible online sources and evaluated using ASPECT. There is great information on the open web, you just have to dig and evaluate as you go. Hopefully, this class also provided evidence that using the library databases is a time saving tool for finding academic credible articles and information.
Cheers,
Andrea
