Each criterion used causes the reader to look at the website in its entirety and based upon each criterion selected, evaluate whether or not the website meets that criterion. The criterion used to evaluate Mayoclinic.org was: Accuracy, Authority, Objectivity, Currency and Coverage. Accuracy means to determine how reliable and free from error the information contained on a website is, remember to look at who is hosting the site. Is it a University, a government, a professional association, a commercial host, an advocacy group, a publisher? What are their biases? A good website should state its purpose and intended audience. Authority means who authored this page or information? To determine the authorship of a website, examine the…
Meta-analysis has been much debated and criticized since its creation, and it has been argued that systematic reviews are superior. The present study examined the reverse idea – that meta-analysis is the superior method. A literature search was conducted of meta-analysis studies for psychotherapy within the PsycINFO database. The resulting studies were further examined and classified as either primary articles or secondary articles. Primary articles were further examined for secondary articles associated with them. It was found that there was some criticism within the literature. The results were compared to a study of systematic review literature conducted at the same time. The comparison implies that, contrary to the hypothesis, meta-analysis may not be superior to systematic reviews.…

Automatically I could tell that the first website is an extremely reputable resource just from the mere fact that they are affiliated with the National Institute of Health. The second website revealed to be less reputable simply because the title of their website is misspelled. Although they both provided information on the herb Thunder God Vine, the first website is more of a factual definitions and basic information sheet versus the second website being a news article on the most recent “breakthrough”.…

The overall website evaluations were based on the following criteria: authority, credibility, accuracy, bias, objectivity, timeliness, coverage, relevance, and appropriateness. The format of my review evaluated key factors to help determine the legitimacy of these web sites. Throughout the analysis both the website met the criteria of being reputable sites. Everything on the websites is a fact and has been proven by other articles and publications. Accuracy is a strength for both web sites because there are links to other Web sites that have similar information. Another important criterion in evaluating a web site is timeliness. Timeliness is important because it shows if the Web site is current enough for a research topic. It is also important because knowledge can change rapidly over a period of time. Both websites were timely and current for the time that the data was launched or published in the journal. Coverage is important in evaluating a web site because it determines if the topic is successfully addressed by having clearly presented arguments, and if the site covers a time period appropriate enough for the topic. I found the coverage excellent on both websites with great links to other similar resources and data. Relevance is another important criterion because it helps determine if the site truly provides useful information for the topic, and if the information on the site could help add value to the research. It also determines if the site provides comprehensive information that is relevant to the topic. I found the information presented on both websites highly relevant to the topic. I felt that both web sites directed their information at a level appropriate for the target audience; the first website was more general and easy to follow; the second website was targeted for the educated medical reader and was written at the appropriate readership level. I think this criterion was a strength for both websites because people want to be able to read…
