The goal of our research is to create a predictive model of Web content credibility evaluations, based on human evaluations. The model has to be based on a comprehensive set of independent factors that can be used to guide user’s credibility evaluations in crowdsourced systems like WOT, but also to design machine classifiers of Web content credibility. The factors described in this article are based on empirical data. We have created a dataset obtained from an extensive crowdsourced Web credibility assessment study (over 15 thousand evaluations of over 5000 Web pages from over 2000 participants). First, online participants evaluated a multi-domain corpus of selected Web pages. Using the acquired data and text mining techniques we have prepared a code book and conducted another crowdsourcing round to label textual justifications of the former responses. We have extended the list of significant credibility assessment factors described in previous research and analyzed their relationships to credibility evaluation scores. Discovered factors that affect Web content credibility evaluations are also weakly correlated, which makes them more useful for modeling and predicting credibility evaluations. Based on the newly identified factors, we propose a predictive model for Web content credibility. The model can be used to determine the significance and impact of discovered factors on credibility evaluations. These findings can guide future research on the design of automatic or semi-automatic systems for Web content credibility evaluation support. This study also contributes the largest credibility dataset currently publicly available for research: the Content Credibility Corpus (C3).
