Who is behind it?
Find the author or organization, the original publication, and any stated sponsorship or commercial relationship. Is it clear who is responsible for the information?
Learning / Reading with care
Stay curious.
Ask good questions.
A resource is more useful when you can understand who created it, what supports it, and how it relates to your own question. Use this guide as a starting point for exploration.

Four questions
to carry with you.
SOURCE
What supports the claim?
Follow a citation to its original source when possible. Distinguish a personal account, an interpretation, and a result with a documented method. Notice where information is missing.
What context matters?
Check when the resource was created or updated, who it was intended for, and the conditions behind its conclusions. Ask whether those conditions fit your question.
What should I ask next?
Look for limitations, alternative explanations, and unanswered questions. When a decision has important consequences, seek appropriate expertise rather than relying on a single resource.
A simple habit
Keep the source with the idea.
Save the original link, publication date, and a note about why it was useful. That makes it easier to revisit an idea, share it accurately, and notice when information changes.
