When vetting the research you find online, it is important to use the most recent sources possible. The best sources to use are those that have been published or updated within the last 5 years. An article will typically have the publication or update date underneath the title or author’s name, and this will be toward the top of the page. If you cannot locate that date, then your next best bet is to scroll to the bottom of the website to look for the copyright date. However, note that the copyright date may not always be a good indicator of when the article was written as it may just be the last time the website was updated. Thus, for the currency of a website only, check the bottom of the web page.
