Finding useful information requires more than a quick search; relevance and credibility also matter.

A good source is not defined by what it says, but by what it can withstand in terms of evidence and scrutiny.

Online information can become widely shared, making it essential to distinguish questionable claims before accepting or passing them on as reliable.

Responsibly using sources, effectively writing, citing, and upholding academic integrity are key components of research.
