The two websites that I chose were, a site that I found using Google scholar and Wikipedia. The main difference between these two websites is the credibility that each has established. Google scholar is a reputable and well-known tool to find scholarly articles. Wikipedia is advertised as an online encyclopedia, but it allows any users to edit information in any way they choose. Because of this, Wikipedia loses credibility and is not able to be used as a reputable source. If you didn’t already know that Wikipedia is not a valid source, you could scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on “Disclaimers”. This takes you to a page that tells you that Wikipedia articles are not peer reviewed or even looked at by experts in that field. In contrast, the Google scholar article lists the authors at the very beginning of the article and tells what their qualifications are. This article has a list of references after the article and also has a visible citation available.
