Website Evaluation When accessing the internet for research, it is particularly important to evaluate the information to make sure it is accurate and reliable. Consider the following items when assessing the validity of your sources: Authority. Because anyone can publish on the web, determining authority for web sources is frequently difficult. Look for the site's author and his or her credentials to determine if the page if from a reliable source. Accuracy. Many web resources are not verified by editors and/or fact checkers. Many of the steps that exist in the print publishing process to ensure accuracy do not exist in web publishing. A government agency (.gov) or an educational institution (.edu) will be more likely to be accurate in publishing. However, beware of student papers published on an educational website; these are often noted by a tilde (~) before a name at the end of the address. Objectivity. It is often difficult to assess the legitimacy of the group or organization that disseminates the information on a website. Frequently the goals of the persons or groups presenting the material are not clearly stated. Beware of information that is one-sided or extreme in its presentation. Currency. Dates are not always included on web pages, and if a date is included, it may have various meanings. The date may indicate when material was first written, when the information was placed on the server, or the date the information was last revised. Look or a copyright date pertaining to the material presented. Coverage. If a source is also published in print form, the web coverage may differ from the print coverage, with no clear indication given of the differences. Be sure you properly document whether your information came from the print version or the online version. To help determine whether or not your online information is valid, complete the ENHS Website Evaluation form (an example is provided on the following page.) If you cannot find the information needed to adequately complete the form, chances are your information is not reliable. 7

ENHS Website Evaluation Form 1. Find and Print the home page for your source. 2. Find the information needed to evaluate the web site: Information Providers Is the page clearly labeled with the author's name or the sponsoring organization? Yes No Provide the name or organization Can you find evidence of the author's credentials, background, education or authority? Yes No What special training or education qualifies the author to create this page? Is a contact person with email address provided? Yes No List name & email address Information Currency Is a copyright date given? Yes No What is the copyright date? Does the page state when it was last updated? Yes No When was the page last updated? Information Quality What appears to be the purpose of this site (circle one)? Inform Persuade How will this source help you in writing your paper (circle one)? Provide background Expand on information you already have Provide a different point of view from what you have so far. Does the content seem to be free of bias? Yes No Do grammar and spelling seem to be correct? Yes No 8

Plagiarism Plagiarism occurs when you use someone else's words or ideas without correctly noting your source or without noting your source at all. Plagiarism is obvious and intentional when a student purposely copies material directly, but one is also guilty of plagiarism if he or she has not cited the source of the material, whether it is a verbatim quote or whether the ideas have been paraphrased into his or her own words. Students should remember that plagiarism is a serious academic offense and can result in a complete loss of credit among other penalties. Plagiarism is a type of stealing - taking something that does not belong to you. If you have any doubts about the need to acknowledge another writer's work, the safest course is to cite the source parenthetically and on your works cited page. Find more information on how to cite your sources on pages 9-18. While some students intentionally plagiarize the work of others by copying directly, others may plagiarize through carelessness or lack of clear understanding about what constitutes plagiarism. The following examples, taken directly from the Bellingham School District M.L.A. Parenthetical Citation and Works Cited Information Packet (Lemonds, et al.), demonstrate different types of plagiarism and explain how each is plagiarized. Identifying and Avoiding Plagiarism: The following excerpt is from The Fatal Shore by Robert Hughes. It is followed by student examples which illustrate problems with plagiarism. This material was taken from A Guide to MLA Documentation by Joseph Trimmer (Fourth Edition: 1996). Original Version Transportation did not deter crime in England or even slow it down. The "criminal class" was not eliminated by transportation, and could not be, because transportation did not deal with the causes of crime. Student Version A Transportation did not stop crime in England or even slow it down. Criminals were not eliminated by transportation because transportation did not deal with the causes of crime. Version A is plagiarism. Because the writer of Version A does not indicate in the text or a parenthetical citation that the words and ideas belong to Hughes, the reader will believe the words belong to the student. The student has stolen words and attempted to cover it up by changing or omitting an occasional word. Student Version B 9

One source points out that transportation did not deter crime in England or even slow it down. The criminal element was not eliminated by transportation, and could not be because transportation did not deal with the causes of crime (Hughes 168). Even though parenthetical citation has been included, Version B is also plagiarism. The writer has essentially copied Hughes' words but has not quoted passages that were taken directly from the text. There is no sense that Version B is written in the student's own words. As a result, it is difficult to determine whether or not the writer actually understands the material. Student Version C Robert Hughes argues that transporting criminals from England to Australia "did not stop crime." How could it? Simply moving the criminals from one place to another would not rehabilitate them or change their behavior in any positive way (168). Version C is not plagiarism. It contains a parenthetical citation that gives credit to the source. In addition, instead of altering a word here and there, the student was able to translate the material into his or her own words. 10

The general format for citing a book: Book Citation Examples Author's last name, first name. Title. City of publication: Publisher, copyright date. Print. The general format for a parenthetical citation for a book is the author's last name and the page number (X), without a comma, the word "page," or "p."

Citing Database Sources When citing a source from an online database, you must give the citation information for both the original source and the database in which you find the article. For example, if you find an article from Time in addition to the information for EBSCOhost. Basic format for articles from an online service: Author. "Article Title." Journal Title. Date: pages. Title of Database. Medium of publication consulted (Web). Date of access. (Author 7) or (Author) Reference the actual page, not printer page, of the document or just cite the author. (parenthetical citation - body of the paper) Often, an online database will provide citation information for you. In this case verify that the citation matches the examples in this guide and/or the MLA Book. For example, EBSCO, will cite the article for you in MLA format if you tell it to when you email the article to yourself. Some databases have the MLA citation at the bottom of the article or on a tab that says "Cite" or "citation". EBSCOhost: Some available databases include MAS Ultra - School Edition, MasterFILE Premier, Academic Search Elite, Newspaper Source, and Health Source - Consumer Edition. Davies, Paul. "Interplanetary Infestations." Sky & Telescope Sept. 1999: 33-40. MAS Ultra - School Edition. Web. 3 Oct. 2007.

Works Cited Page Works cited pages follow a very specific format. Make sure to follow it exactly and always refer to your teacher notes and specifications. Basic Rules Begin your Works Cited page on a separate page at the end of your research paper. Label the page Works Cited (do not italicize the words Works Cited or put them in quotation marks) and center the words Works Cited at the top of the page. Double space all citations, but do not skip spaces between entries. Indent the second and subsequent lines of your citations. This is called a hanging indent.
