Annotation: The article is devoted to the theoretical understanding and methodological formulation of the concept of in- formation reliability as an independent interdisciplinary category. It is shown that, unlike technical reliability, information reliability relies on fuzzy, cognitive and semantic characteristics, which makes the problem of its assessment methodologically difficult. An attempt has been made to bring this concept beyond the traditional engineering interpretations, substantiating its applicability to information models, information systems and information processes. A multifactorial structure of information reliability is proposed, including reliability, relevance, recoverability, information quality, and characteristics of the operating environment. The list of significant factors other than technical reliability factors has been expanded. A methodological model of expert assessment is proposed, linked to testing as an information process, which makes it possible to show the practi- cal applicability of theoretical provisions. The results of the study are a generalization for the further forming of a systematic approach to the assessment of information reliability.
