Kredibilitas Sumber Ilmiah di Era Digital

Abstract

A source can be said to be credible if the source can be trusted or even has the power to be trusted.  Sometimes we often have difficulty determining whether a source is credible and trustworthy or not because some sources of information often present false information as facts without evidence. Especially in today's digital era, we often have difficulty finding credible scientific sources, because the emergence of the internet, news websites, blogs and social media platforms are increasingly dominant in disseminating information. As a result, the emergence of several sources of information can give rise to our sense of ambiguity in assessing the credibility of current scientific sources. Therefore, we need to know how to find trusted scientific sources in the digital era like today, namely by looking for sources of information through trusted sources such as research journals, or trusted websites such as Google Scholar.
