Wineburg and McGrew gave 10 historians, 10 professional fact checkers and 25 Stanford undergraduates the same websites to evaluate. The fact checkers were the fastest and the most accurate. They skimmed a page, then opened new tabs to see what other sources said about it. The historians and students read vertically, staying on the page, and were more often swayed by logos and academic-looking citations. The historians' skill at evaluating documents did not carry over to the open web. Knowing where to look did.
