Dr. Mike Caulfield, a research scientist from the University of Washington, developed a useful tool to consider when viewing information. It is called SIFT, and it consists of four things to consider.

  • S = Stop and think about the information before doing anything with it
  • I = Investigate or learn more about where the information is coming from
  • F = Find better sources to confirm the information
  • T = Trace or look for the original source of the information
