Web science trust is a way for websites to prove that they are trustworthy. Websites can get a special seal from an organization called the Web Science Trust Initiative (WSTI) that tells visitors that the website can be trusted. The seal is a symbol that shows that the website follows responsible online practices and is committed to protecting people's data and privacy. The WSTI reviews the website's policies and practices to make sure they are in line with safety standards and checks for any security risks. If the website passes the review, it is allowed to use the Web Science Trust seal on its website. This helps visitors feel more confident when using the website.
