The researchers expected participants to overestimate the value of the Internet as a source of academically reputable information, and to have a limited understanding of the complex nature of online academic research. These expectations were not validated by the conclusions of the assessment.enUnless otherwise indicated, this material is protected by copyright and has been made available with authorization from the copyright owner.
