Find Reliable Websites

Researching health-related topics on the internet can return results from questionable or unreliable sources, so it's very important to look for reliable and trustworthy sources. The search Sweetsearch returns only trustworthy sources.

TIP: Including the phrase Psychology or Myth AND [your myth] may improve your search results.

  •  SweetSearch: A Search Engine for Students

    A search engine for students that emphasizes high quality resources evaluated and approved by educators, librarians and research experts. 
    NOTE: As with a Google search, you can ignore the initial results labelled sponsored.

  • And if you still want to search GOOGLE:
    • Improve the reliability of your results by limiting your search to the more reliable domains gov, edu, and ac.uk. The domain gov is used by U.S. federal and state government agencies exclusively, while edu is used only by U.S. colleges and universities. Ac.uk is used by colleges and universities in the United Kingdom.
    • COPY and PASTE this phrase into Google along with your search term(s): AND site:gov OR site:edu OR site:ac.uk

  • Note that universities may allow their students to use their edu domain. If there is a tilde (~) in the address, it may be a personal student page which is not monitored by the institution.
