Abstract

The study aims to develop a proposed model for criteria for evaluating information sources available on the Internet, for the purpose of measuring the degree of trust and credibility in order to help researchers judge information sources and the possibility of relying on them and quoting from them. The model includes 4 main criteria: intellectual responsibility, content, accuracy, and modernity. 20 sub-items have a direct relationship to each of the four criteria.
