.org or .edu or. gov. Also if they are like published or important

# data[].attributes.body
Is the source well known as a reliable source?
Look for .edu, .gov

# data[].attributes.body
You should go to sites that have .edu or .org

# data[].attributes.body
If it is something like the New York times or NASA

# data[].attributes.body
Things like .edu and .gov are good for looking up information

# data[].attributes.body
3 yrs ago would be a stretch for info. 4 yrs and it probably won't be credible IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR RECENT ISSUES

# data[].attributes.body
Reliable sources normally end with...
.org
.gov
.edu

# data[].attributes.body
.edu or .org are good endings to websites to use.

# data[].attributes.body
To inform or to entertain or to persuade?

# data[].attributes.body
If I was to research, I would chose websites that end in .org, .gov, .edu, and sometimes .net. I would typically not choose .com, the most common one, because those can be written and published by anyone in the World and the information may not be as accurate as the other ones.

Well, when Mr.Heffernan showed us the rare "tree octupus" Under a picture of it the heading said " The rare and elusive tree octupus." Which is sort of suspicious. And it sounds a bit wrong. Who would put a heading that says that?

# data[].attributes.body
If it was written for something really really out of the ordinary, like talking chairs living in the wild then it is probably not credible

# data[].attributes.body
When does the event (if any) in the article take place?

# data[].attributes.body
.edu and .gov are good sources. If it is published by a big company and if it has links to other websites

# data[].attributes.body
.gov or .edu are usually credible sources

# data[].attributes.body
-Was this written to inform, persuade, or entertain?
-Why did the author feel a need to publish an article about this?

Hopefully recently because that info could be outdated

Recent information would be your best bet. But information found 2-3 years ago you shouldn't use that.

Is this info from a reliable website?

If it is something like the New York times or NASA

# data[].attributes.body
The three reasons for writing are to INFORM, ENTERTAIN & PERSUADE.... another thing is you are doing a research paper and the text was written to persuade, there might not be a lot of valuable information.

# data[].attributes.body
If the information is poorly presented and sloppy, it's probably not credible.

# data[].attributes.body
If it says it was updated, then it means the author or website is putting currently dated information. If more recent

# data[].attributes.body
If an article on an event is updated and current, then it will be a good site to look at

# data[].attributes.body
If it was written a long time ago, then maybe it isn't as credible as it used to be. for example, an article from 1988 it might say that Ronald Reagen voted to pass the law but in reality nowadays, it wouldn't be ronald reagen because he is not the president.

For objectivity, I would wonder why did this author really publish this source?

Did he actually need to publish it, to inform, persuade, or entertain.

For example, if it is something  completely random and his purpose is to inform, I would probably not consider the source as credible

Also, I would consider, why did this issue have to be written about. Is it actually important to be addressed.

# data[].attributes.body
Is the information still accurate?

# data[].attributes.body
you can type in the text in google and see if it was taken from somewhere else

# data[].attributes.body
If a site was written by a government website or an organization that is reliable, then their site would be a good source.

I would like to know if this author has written something before

# data[].attributes.body
If the information has been published before on a website you know is credible (.gov, .edu) then you know that the source is reliable.

# data[].attributes.body
What was it made for?

# data[].attributes.body
if the information is update it could be more reliable than if it was written longer ago.

# data[].attributes.body
Are the websites that the information is published on or formally published on

# data[].attributes.body
If it looks like an old website it may be outdated which shows that their not updating it

# data[].attributes.body
If you find a website with opinions and it's a research paper it is probably not good paper. If it is filled with only opinions and not any information.

# data[].attributes.body
Description

# data[].attributes.body
I would want to why this topic is so important to them

# data[].attributes.body
If for example an article was written 5 years ago the information won't be current.

# data[].attributes.body
Has the source been updated recently?
When did the even take place?

# data[].attributes.body
- When was this written?
- When was this last updated?
- Does current research match up with the old research?

Places where it usually have trustworthy information

# data[].attributes.body
if there is more than one articles written about this topic it could be more reliable than just one article about it.

# data[].attributes.body
Was the person who wrote this well known. And is also known to give real facts and not fake news.

# data[].attributes.body
This is very important because if it was published on a government website before, then you know it would be reliable. Also, you can look at the website and see what else they have on there for other sources.

# data[].attributes.body
If you see that a variety of sources has published it, then it might have a higher likelihood of being credible

# data[].attributes.body
Pictures, infographs, stories,

# data[].attributes.body
Check where it was published previously and see if that is a credible source.

# data[].attributes.body
I know .com is not always trustworthy and that those can be edited and written by people who's not that knowledgeable of that specific topic

# data[].attributes.body
- Was this information published on a site with .edu or .gov?
- What country has this article been published in (Different countries have different resources and views)?

# data[].attributes.body
Does it make sense? Is it childish or unorganized?

# data[].attributes.body
With what purpose does it serve us to read the article? Is it for a good cause or current events?

# data[].attributes.body
the ending, .com is less reliable than
.gov

# data[].attributes.body
What are the sources from the source? Where did they get the information?

# data[].attributes.body
Persuade inform entertain

# data[].attributes.body
If it is old it might not be true anymore.

# data[].attributes.body
I would wonder when it was written because if it was published and written more than about 6-8 years ago, I wouldn't trust it. Especially if stats were included, I would only trust a source that is 3 or less years old because stats can vary a lot in that period of time. If it was written that same year, I would know it would be very credible. If it was a current event, then I would trust it for about a month because if it is something like war between two nations, it is going to change almost every week so you would want the information to be accurate if you are researching it.

# data[].attributes.body
If the author is someone who you know and is reliable, then the source is most likely credible.

# data[].attributes.body
If the information is presented with grammar mistakes and misspellings then it may not be written by a published author

# data[].attributes.body
It depends on what you are gathering information for, but normally if the publish date is not current then you might not be getting accurate information.

# data[].attributes.body
If the author is a known person

# data[].attributes.body
If the person who wrote it has a history of writing wrong articles then the source might not be credible.

# data[].attributes.body
Have they been talking about this for awhile? Or are they new at the topic

# data[].attributes.body
if there is a lot of ads and links that don't work than the source probably isn't the most reliable.

# data[].attributes.body
What is the text structure? Are there images, if so where are they from?

# data[].attributes.body
- Are there research and/or quotes involved?
- Does the text look and sound credible?
- Is this information in proper grammatical form? If not, it could be made by an uneducated child/adult.

# data[].attributes.body
Has this information been posted on other well known articles that are popular and known to be truthful for their information. Have then been on websites with .edu, or .gov
