C. Intended for citizens, or include
content intended for citizens
D. Free access

Web Resource Rater: Quality Criteria
Included web resources are rated for quality by two
independent raters assessing: • Evidence-based: Is this information reliable, based on scientific research?
• Transparency: Is it clear who developed the resource and how?
• Usability: Is the information easy to understand and easy to use?
A ‘five-star’ overall rating is generated, weighted to favour
web resources that use research evidence
