The purpose of this essay is to draw the comparison among ThoughtCo, Archaeology News Network, Çatalhöyük Research Project, and Science Daily to review the reliability as well as credibility of these websites. For this comparison, the websites will be evaluated on the basis of their Accuracy, Objective, Purpose, and Coverage. The essay will also try to find similarities between these websites with regards to their articles and content. There are 4 total websites; ThoughtCo, Archaeology News Network, Catalhoyuk.Com and Science Daily. And there will be description of each site. 

The first website to be reviewed is ThoughtCo, so articles of this website will be reviewed that help in solving the puzzles of history. This website is beneficial for the Archaeologist as mostly articles are related to ancient cultures. The other site is Archaeology News Network and, in this website, mostly the articles are related to the biology like Archaeology, Anthropology, Paleontology, Evolution, Astronomy and Natural Heritage. The next site is the Catalhoyuk Research Project, and most of the articles on this website are related to time and space. Also, the latest information is available in its articles. The last site to be reviewed is Science Daily, and this website comes with latest research news regarding health, technology, environment, society as well as quirky

Reliability and Credibility of the Websites

First of all, we talk about the ThoughtCo website, which is helpful in solving the puzzles of history. From this website, we take the article Cahokia (USA)-in the American Bottom Massive Mississippian center. The author of this article is K.Kris Hirst, and this is updated on July 4, 2017. K. Kris Hirst is an archaeologist with thirty years of experience in the field, (Hirst, 2017). The website of Science Daily is about the latest research on new technology, environment as well as society. From one of its article, we take the piece about illuminating women’s role in the creation of medieval manuscripts. This article is published on January 9, 2019 and the author of this article is not mentioned, but still the website is good enough to be considered a reliable one (ScienceDaily, 2019)

The other website to be reviewed and compared is Catalhoyuk, and most of its articles are related to time and space. The author of one of the articles is Dominik Lukas. This is also an authentic website with authentic information.  The specific content we took from this website to review is the video named “Priority Units 32144 & 32145”. The reporter of this video news is Ian Hodder and the date of this video published on the website is 27th June, 2017 (Hodder, 2017). Last but not the least is the website of Archaeology News Network. We find the old culture articles in this website like anthropology, paleontology, natural heritage, linguistics as well as evolution. The one article taken from this website is titled as “Algeria’s Ancient pyramid tombs still Shrouded in Mystery.” This article wass  published on January 14th, 2019. The author of this article is Amal Belalloufi, and the paper content is good with reliable history information (Belalloufi, 2019)

Conclusion on Review of 4 Websites and their Articles

It can be concluded from the above discussion that one website may look better than the other due to various elements like its reliability, authenticity, style, information etc. These attributes are important to determine after review that which one is on top as compared to the others. According to my point of view after reviewing and comparing these 4 websites, the most authentic place is ThoughtCo. It comes with detailed information about the author, the publication date etc. And most importantly, the content of the articles is very significant for the research studies as it is authentic and written in simple language for everyone to understand.

It is also concluded that second best website is Catalhoyuk Research Project. The reason is same as the above, but there is one more distinction of this website that most data is available in the form of videos, which attracts the interest of users. But fact of the matter is that it is difficult to listen all videos and extract data from these videos; that’s why it has been ranked second in this list. The number three is given to Archaeology News Network and last ranking number is given to Science daily. These two websites are also good enough to be viewed as authentic and reliable, but they need to improve more so that they can be on top of the list.
