Software
This page provides links to software tools produced by the CredibilityCommons group. We are producing a wide range of software to support people in finding and assessing the credibility of information online, including search engines, browser plug-ins and online games.
We believe in a community-supported development model. Tools that we create will be released early in the development cycle, and will be shaped in part by community feedback. When possible, we will post the source code and datasets used by our tools.
