[Air-l] verifying onlline information

[Denise N. Rall]

Re: the recent discussion on verification:


I am actually working on this problem right now, not
so much in terms of verifiable content, but how the
process of locating information on the Web seems to
"be exempt" from scientific processes of
falsification.

See the abstract to my paper on my website (posted
below). I found the following (older) paper very
useful:
Clever Project (1999). "Hypersearching the Web."
Scientific American(June): 54-59.

I have another paper which I can't locate, a metastudy
of evaluative factors in web site useage which I will
post soon.
