The most interesting feature to me, however, is the way the tool can alert students of a website’s credibility. EasyBib measures credibility through a system of checks based on content, author, links, citations, currency (when it was published), who published it, etc. That information, compounded with data from the current 38 million students using the site right now, makes for fairly accurate recommendations, although some sites (like TNW) aren’t used enough for research to have a rating yet.
