Question

Which source is most credible?

A. One with a degree from a superior college
B. One with multiple well-reviewed publications on the subject.
C. One who writes most entertainingly on the subject.
D. One who includes media elements in the text.

Answer 1

The answer is B. One with multiple well-reviewed publications on the subject.

Answer 2

B. One with multiple well-reviewed publications on the subject.

A well-reviewed publication suggests that the content of the publication is backed up with evidence, is unbiased, the information can be verified elsewhere and the author or authors can be identified. All of these characteristics make a source credible, when there are more than one (or multiple) well-reviewed publications on a specific subject, the source's credibility is even higher.
