2. Check author credentials: Look for information about the author or organization responsible for the content. Verify their expertise, qualifications, and credentials. Be cautious if the author's information is missing or seems biased. 3. Consider domain extensions: Websites with .gov, .edu, or .org tend to be more reliable since they are associated with government, educational, or nonprofit organizations respectively.

4. Evaluate references and citations: Look for sources cited within the article or webpage. Verify those references to ensure they are reliable and support the writer's claims. 5. Assess objectivity and bias: Be conscious of any biases or agendas present in the content. Look for balanced viewpoints and objective analysis rather than content that seems overly promotional or one-sided.
6. Peer-reviewed publications: Scholarly articles and papers published in respected academic journals often undergo a rigorous peer-review process, providing greater credibility to the information presented.
