Cloning Fact Sheet

My first reaction to the Cloning Fact Sheet is negative.  The title sounds a bit amateurish to me.  Happily, I looked further than the title.  One of the first things that I noticed about this source is the .gov domain name.  This ending means that whatever ORNL is, it is a government institution.  That alone does not make this a credible source, but I can be reasonably certain that I don't just have a crackpot spouting off ideas and I don't have a fraud looking to make money.  If I strip away everything but www.ornl.gov, I'll find out that this is the website for Oak Ridge National Laboratory.  That's a fairly credible source.

What else do I notice about this site that recommends it to me?  First, it documents information along the way, so I can use that documentation to find more sources.  Second, it culminates in a long list of related links.  This isn't just one source, then.  It's the gateway to a host of sources, all of which come with a certain amount of recommendation from this highly respected scientific lab.

Judgment: I would latch onto this page in a heartbeat.  Not only will it provide quality information, but it will lead me on to even more quality information.
