Doing Research.

Getting websites about Hong Kong from Hong Kong.

So I now needed to do some research on climate change and Hong Kong.

I started off with a normal Google Search in Google Hong Kong.

Global warming "Hong Kong" plan. I found adding "plan" to the search really helped.

I then wanted to narrow this down using the site:hk operator so I would get just Hong Kong websites. 

I also went further than this and used the site:gov.hk operator and searched within web sites I found. 

I also wanted to search for recent articles so I used the "last updated" function and the News search function.

 Reserved operators 

I also wanted to look at the difference between reserved operators such as <.gov> and those that anyone can open such as <.org>.     It is useful to know how reliable these websites are.  I was ver careful of web sites. using <.com> as these can represent private organisations and firms that might want to sell me something or get me to believe in their "Public relations spin".  

RAVEN test. 

I really wanted to get good quality information so when I found a source of information I used the RAVEN test. 

R.A.V.E.N

Reputation:How reliable is the source or person that is providing the information.

Ability to Perceive:A source using the five sense to assess an event or situation.

Vested Interest:Personal interest leading to the expectation of personal gain from a favorable outcome.

Expertise:Skills, experience and training that give someone specialist knowledge and judgment.

Neutrality:Not being bias.

Who has linked to this web site?

I also wanted to know who links to the web site, this can give me another insight into how reliable the web site is.  You can use this by using the <link:> operator.
