Title:
How do people evaluate a web site's credibility?
Abstract:
As the Web becomes a part of people's everyday lives--booking
travel, finding health information, buying products--there is a growing
need to help people figure out whether a Web site is credible or not: Can
I trust the information on this site? Can I trust in the services this
site describes? This is one of the studies concerns the need.
