You want to make sure that you use Credible Sources when doing research.
A credible source is one that you can trust to provide accurate, reliable, and unbiased information.
It means the source is created by experts or organizations with authority on the topic, the information is supported by evidence, and it is up-to-date.
Not everything you find online is true or trustworthy. That’s why it’s important to check if a website is reliable before using it for your research.
