Guides: What are credible sources?: Websites (2024)

Because it is easy for anyone to publish anything on a website, you need to find websites that contain reliable information.

Websites with these domains (the URL ending) generally have reliable information:

  • .org (a registered organisation)
  • .edu (an educational institution)
  • .gov (a government agency)
  • .gov.au (an Australian government agency)

Websites with .com or .net. are not unreliable, but they should be used with caution. InGoogle's Advanced Search, you can limit your searches by domain.
