  • Question
    When looking at the author of a website, how do I know if they are credible?
    Community Answer
    First, look at the author's credentials. See if they have any professional experience in the field they're writing about, and if so, look at what they did, how long they did it, and where they did it. Usually if someone has extensive experience in a particular field or about a particular topic, they are considered credible. Then, do some research about the author. Are they generally considered to be credible or are they completely unheard of? Has that author's work ever been published in any reputable journals? These questions and answers should help you decide whether or not an author can be considered credible.
