critlook

Critlook is a web-based tool designed to help users evaluate the credibility of online sources. It was developed by the University of Sheffield's Centre for Critical and Cultural Studies. The tool provides a simple, user-friendly interface that allows users to input the URL of a webpage they wish to evaluate. Critlook then analyzes the webpage using a variety of factors, including the author's credentials, the publication's reputation, and the presence of any potential biases. The tool provides a score out of 100, along with a detailed report outlining the factors that contributed to the score. Critlook is particularly useful for students, researchers, and anyone who needs to verify the credibility of online information. It is important to note that Critlook is not a substitute for critical thinking and independent verification of sources. The tool should be used as a starting point for evaluating the credibility of online information, rather than as a definitive guide. Critlook is available for free and can be accessed at www.critlook.org.
