Using the Internet for Search

1. Remember that the internet contains vast amounts of information, so the following tips are essential.
Use educational and government websites with internet suffixes: .edu, .ac or .gov as they are generally considered more credible.
Avoid online material that is published through commercial sites (sites with a .com or .co suffix) as they may be biased.
Websites of non-commercial organizations usually have a .org suffix. Cite Widely known and respected organizations, such as the United Nations.

Be wary of other organizations set up to promote a particular view or cause. They may be biased so indicate this possibility in your essay if you cite them.
try using synonyms (= words that have a very similar meaning) or related words. Instead of management, for example, type leadership.
Do not include instruction words or small words such as ‘the’, out , for , and in, only include content words in the search.
