9. Is the statement true or false? “All .edu websites are academic sources”.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks to evaluate the statement about .edu websites and whether they are all academic sources.
Option 1: True. This claim is incorrect because not every site with a .edu domain functions as an academic source. Some .edu sites are university marketing pages, student organizations, campus news, event calendars, or administrative portals. These materials may be informative but are not necessarily scholarly or peer-reviewed sources.
Option 2: False. This statement is accurate because the .edu domain does not guarantee scholarly content. There exist .edu websites that host non-academic information, personal pages by faculty or students, or promotional materials, and some academic content may be found on non-.edu domains as well. Therefore, equating all .edu sites with academic sources would be an overgeneralization.
In short, the defining feature of an academic source—peer-reviewed, scholarly evidence—cannot be guaranteed merely by the domain ending in .edu, making the statement false overall.
