Answer:

Examine the sources cited by the website

Step-by-step explanation:

Due to the ability for everyone to create a website, and that there are no governing standards on the quality of information given on websites, it is important when conducting research to ensure that the sources on the web are up to date, accurate, and provide an objective view

Therefore, it is important to go through and examine the website critically using the the following criteria

1) The website coverage

2) The currency of the website's information

3) Weather the website is objective or not

4) The identity of the author of the website and the ability to contact the author

5) The accuracy of the information contained in the website
