The discussion identifies a number of criteria for evaluating literary research Web sites, including relevancy, credibility and documentation. Twenty of the leading Shakespeare research Web sites are identified and each is evaluated against the criteria with discussion of good features and bad. The sites are ranked by their scores against the criteria and conclusions are drawn.
