Author credentials are the education, skills, and/or biographical information which make them (authors) qualified to write/speak on a specific topic. Analyze and think of author credentials as follows:
- Their educational background in a field or subject area (e.g., biology, health, psychology, etc.)
- Other writings (books/articles on the same or similar topics)
- Overall years of experience in the field or subject
- Biographical reference sources, which are books containing information about a person's life, work, and professional accomplishments.
