Quality Control / Validation of Information Sources
---------------------------------------------------
With the vast amount of information disseminated, frequently by a va-
riety of newer methods, including electronic mail or the Internet,
the issue of the source, validity and quality of the information is
increasingly important. There have even been questions on the auto-
matic acceptance of information from papers in peer-reviewed publica-
tions.
I would like to collate some information on the above topic, and
would appreciate it very much if anyone could suggest research which
has been done, or articles in both the scientific and general media.
I realise that this must be a vast topic!
Regards
Candy
