Learn how to identify unreliable sources of information. Even when using information found on the internet, the same basic rules apply. Reliable sources of information include colleges and universities, federal and state governments, well known national organizations and articles published in professional journals and peer-reviewed publications. Many reliable websites end in .gov, .org, or .edu. This generally indicates that the site is a government entity, non-profit organization, or educational institution. Unreliable sources of information most often come from self-published mediums, such as blogs, personal websites, social networking sites, internet forums, and unknown organizations. As a general rule, if a well-known expert did not write it or a well-known entity publish it, it is unreliable information.
