You can analyze that a webpage is trustworthy when all the characteristics fit the criteria of trustworthiness. The characteristics are: Accuracy, Coverage, Objectivity, Authority, and Currency. Objectivity is really important because if the information is opinionated you know you can´t use it as information and the content is not trustworthy. AUTHORITY: Authority is if the website has suffixes that are trustworthy; for example .gov, .edu, etc. Also authority is when there is an author and he or she is an expert on the field. You can verify the author by other trustworthy websites or documents he has published. If there is no author you can verify its origin. All this criteria is part of authority . ACCURACY: For the website to be accurate the page has to have a bibliography or list of sources. It also needs to have links to other trustworthy websites of the same topic. The information can be verified in other websites. Finally the file has to have no errors.

CURRENCY: means that the information you find in the webpage that you are looking is up to date so it has the actual information. Some characteristics to know if a webpage is trustworthy in the sense of currency are: Webpage states the date when it was created, the website states the date when it was last updated and it is recent (present years), the links are current and work, and the sources included in the bibliography are recent.

Coverage: When evaluating a website it’s important to see the depth of the information of the website.If you are looking for information about a topic, but you find that other websites or your own research has more information than the website you are looking at, the website is probably not made by experts and therefore not trustworthy.You can know the coverage of the webpage by looking at:
 * Links that relate to the topic
 * Does the page give important information that was not found in other resources about the topic?
