ENGC 1101 College Writing (Wardell)

From Purdue Owl:
Who is the author? Credible sources are written by authors respected in their fields of study. Responsible, credible authors will cite their sources so that you can check the accuracy of and support for what they've written. (This is also a good way to find more sources for your own research.)

You are looking for:

• What the author is known for
• What others say about the author
• What are the author education and employment credential

Then also do a Google search of the author's name. Look for results from:

• Newspaper (news site) Biographies
• Other employment (Research Firms)
• LinkedIn
• Wikipedia
• College or University Biography pages
• Social Media pages which may have a biography or link to a biography in them
• Personal Websites
• Responses to what the author has written
