This article is about criteria of reliability of information. The validity period of the information
has been determined. It is established that an important stage of selection, development of
methods and mechanisms for ensuring the reliability of information is the analysis of the
processes of its processing. The definition of the information reliability assessment is given, and it
is also established that the complexity of the information reliability assessment is information
evaluation. To assess the accuracy of information, such features as the doubtfulness of the facts
presented, the emotional coloring of the content, the tone of the content in relation to an object or event, the sensational content, the hidden content. These features will be based on monitoring the
reliability of information in the information space, which aims to minimize the subjectivity of
peer review of the content of authors from the point of view of their influential orientation
towards individuals of the information space. In order to minimize this subjectivism, the basis of
evaluations is the key criteria for the reliability of information, which, unlike estimates, are
largely fully measured: the criterion of balance of information, the criterion for separating facts
from opinions, the criterion for the accuracy and reliability of information, the criterion for
completeness of information. Thus, there is a need to create an algorithm for assessing the
reliability of information in the information space, which makes it possible to investigate
information resources for the impact on them, identify problems of information security in a
timely manner, recommend proven solutions for use at critical sites, organize and to carry out
special trainings at the state level, etc.
