Introduction
The way we do research on a given topic has evolved over the years. Nowadays, you can
research any given topic from the comfort of your own home from a smart phone or laptop. This
is beneficial for people to complete school assignments or just to get information about
something such as ADHD. ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that commonly affects
children but also adults. Parents may want to get more information on signs and symptoms to
watch out for in their children, or even adults who may think they are beginning to show signs of
this disorder as well. The American Psychiatric Association has published a web page that
provides useful information on ADHD such as causes of this disorder, treatment options, as well
as signs to look for. But when researching about a topic like this, it is important to use certain
criteria to ensure you are receiving correct information. Some of those criteria are authority,
accuracy, and objectivity.
Authority And Why It’s Important
What is authority? Authority is a person or organization that has power or right to direct
or control someone or something (Britannica Dictionary). It is important to verify the authority
of the web page to make sure the information you are reading is credible, anyone can publish a
webpage, so it is important to make sure there is a copyright credit present on the page, or a link
to a particular organization. Authority is also crucial because you want to ensure there is a need
for the information provided to be published, as well as credible information used and not just
some random person’s word of mouth on the topic. On the American Psychiatric Association’s
web page about ADHD, we know the web page has the correct authority because it is a .org
site, which means it came from an organization, as well as has been reviewed by physicians
prior to publishing. The page also provides a reference list, this also helps us to further fact
