Q. Is this website a good (authoritative) website for a research paper?

To determine whether the website that you found is an authoritative source:

1. Look for information on the author (name, education/experience, contact information).
2. Watch out for extreme bias (e.g., the author is reviewing a product that he/she created).
3. Look at the content of the information (date, spelling, references, accuracy).
