Hi Sasi Kumar, For Medical websites, HONCODE is a seal of credibility...all over the world. For ecommerce security, there are a few certifying bodies, the most important one being Verisign. For all other websites you can look for the credentials of the creator, publisher, sponsors. Some other signs of quality/ credibility could be:
1. Any stated Purpose of the website 2. The credentials & contact details of the author, publisher, sponsor; try contacting the author to verify. 3. Checking how uptodate the information is; how frequently it is updated; deadlinks indicate poor quality/ not updated 4. Look for inaccuracies; biases. 5. Consistency and following the norms of good website design. 6. If it is linked from websites of authoritative professional organizations. Best Regards, Prasanna Hyderabad ________________________________ From: Sasi Kumar <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, March 22, 2009 12:54:02 PM Subject: [AI] hi list members good afternone a small query here i am presenting my query please assist me. is there any institute or an individual to cirtify the credibility of any website in india. any query is a road that leads one from ignorance to visdom.
