Abstract

The evaluation of resources available on the Internet is an important task for those who use it for research purposes and is of great relevance for emphasising the uneven quality of the information found. In order to analyse the presentation and contents of sources of information available on the Internet, this study lists the criteria of quality which can be applied and which allow us to evaluate and, consequently, approve or reject what was found. As a result of technological evolution the Internet is under constant change and the criteria presented here are subject to this movement of change.
