Evaluation Guidelines for Intute
Evaluation Guidelines for Intute: Health and Life Sciences (including the former BIOME gateways - OMNI, AGRIFOR & VETGATE)
"INTUTE < http://www.intute.ac.uk/healthandlifesciences/ >is a free online service providing you with access to the very best web resources for education and research. The service is created by a network of UK universities and partners. Subject specialists select and evaluate the websites in our database and write high quality descriptions of the resources.
Intute: Health and Life Sciences applies strict evaluation procedures when assessing internet resources for possible inclusion. These procedures cover criteria reflecting the quality of a resource, such as authority and reputation; currency, scope and accuracy of content; and accessibility, design and ease of use. Detailed guidelines explaining these procedures have recently been revised and can be found in full at (click on Evaluation Guidelines):
http://www.intute.ac.uk/healthandlifesciences/policy.html
Included in the same document you will find:
- a step by step guide to help you evaluate an internet based resource;
- a discussion of quality issues pertaining specifically to the individual gateways (Agriculture, Veterinary Medicine, Natural History,
etc.) that make up Intute: Health and Life Sciences.
