Open peer reviewed sources

There are open sources of information such as Wikipedia, where all the users of the network can edit and publish the content in their pages with only having an account. That is why we have to take into account that many of these collaborators could no be experts in the content that we want to access and the documents may be corrupt. Open source information such as Wikipedia has already taken steps to ensure that the content added to your site is accurate and reliable by tracking users with accounts that have modified the information.

Currently there are also sites where resources are only accepted by trusted authors such as encyclopedias, scientific information magazines and national news channels, these sites are recommended since the source comes from people with academic training and ensures that the information is reliable and It is previously revised before being published.

When we browse web pages in search of information we must take into account the source that we extract such information, it may happen that it does not come from a reliable source and its content is corrupt that is why we must verify its reliability and validity before doing use of it.

We can classify the websites that offer information to the user with two groups: sites with open peer-reviewed, such as Wikipedia, where authors may not have a level of experience on the topic they contribute to and sites with authoritative peer-reviewed where the contents have been previously reviewed and written by reliable information sources to guarantee their reliability.
