I found something interesting right away while first investigating the website. When I clicked on the authors link on the top of the page, it led me to a list of authors. At the bottom, it said, "Hmm, not buying it? Click here for the real story." I clicked and it lead me to a page with only two authors on it. I can't tell if that is reliable or not. I actually do not like it. However, I do appreciate that they offered the "authors" link. The site also had a link for references. However, on the references page, the first thing you see is "Reliable Research Sources." It's almost like they feel the need to sell you the fact that their references are reliable. Instead, what they should have done was take that out, because before I saw that, I did think the sources could be reliable. I also looked for the credit for the website, and at the bottom of the page, there was a link for "wordpress." I clicked on it, and wordpress happens to be a blogging site. This could be reliable if the authors were scholars. However, if I were going to do research, this isn't a website I would use.
