III. Research Skills

Good research is a product of multiple and continuous searches, here are some skills you can improve or adapt to:
1. Critical Thinking involves the ability to reflect on the information presented to you
As you search through the web, you must think very carefully about the information that you have gathered.
2. Data Organizing  a good researcher can organize his/her collected data.
As you collect those data, be sure to track where specific information is gathered.
3. Research Presenting part of your research is the actual writing, be creative and reflective in writing your
search, explain every detail and step to achieve your objective.

Recognizing Reliable Internet Sites and Non-satirical Source for Research

Tips in Identifying Good Searches from Satirical Searches


1. If the contents of the source are too impossible to happen, or too good to be true, then there must be something
wrong.
2. If the site started as a false site for public figures such as TV personalities or political figures, then uploaded stories
from different sources, it is a satirical one.
3. If the site is unfamiliar and continuously popping ads, then it is satirical.

Examples of Satirical News


A. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. resigned as the leader of the Philippine nation.
B. You can win 1 million pesos just by answering a given survey form.
C. A certain actress/actor is alleged as pregnant being in another country for a long time.

IV. Evaluating website’s credibility, value and usefulness


1. D – DomainSome domains such as .com, .org, and .net can be purchased and used by any individual.
.edu is reserved for colleges and universities
.gov denotes a government website.
These two are usually credible sources for information. If it is a personal website, then you should further
evaluate the website.
Be careful with the domain .org, because .org is usually used by non-profit organizations which may have an
agenda of persuasion rather than education.
2. A – Author
 Check if the author’s credentials or affiliations are listed so you can tell whether or not the author is
qualified to write the topic.
 Check also the publisher of the article if it is a reliable publisher.
 Make sure that the author provides e-mail or a contact address/phone number.
3. D – Date By including a date, the website allows readers to make decisions about whether that information is
recent enough for their purposes. look for a "last updated" date on the page or site.
4. S – Sources Credible websites, like books and scholarly articles, should cite the source of the information
presented.

Example of Reliable Sources


Google Scholar allows the students and educators to search across a wide range of academic literature.
