Credibility.

Credibility blog. 

The credibility when writing in academics or professional writing is very important and gives the work an overall purpose. The reason for writing in general would involve credibility whether it be a tweet, blog, or an essay on a certain subject gives the writing an audience. The choice of words, phrases, and sources may affect the audience that you may attract to the subject at hand. The author’s ability to speak on certain subjects would give the credible aspects on a subject or issues through word choice, information, and tone. 

Identify the credibility. 

The first thing you do when understanding how to create credibility is to understand the credibility of an author or a work of writing. Does the author have a good reason for writing on a certain subject? The amount of experience the author has been involved in an issue gives credibility. An example of an issue could be the school system in undeveloped areas; and a person who attended a school like that could have the notion that they could write on that issue and have credibility on being involved with that experience. Education could have an effect on strengthening the views in writing, through experience and an extended knowledge of the issues or subjects being discussed. 

Evaluating Credibility. 

The experience or education is what gives the author either the value in writing on a subject or could give relevance for the author’s purpose. The identity of the author needs to be taken into account when reading their work. The background that the author had as a child or the education they have when writing these works shows more what the author’s purpose is when producing credibility. What claims does the author choose to back up his reasons and evidence? Do they seem to be organized in a way that helps or diminishes the work? Understanding these factors greatly supports the credibility and can improve the work tremendously. 

Asserting Credibility. 

When asserting the credibility in a form of writing looking  at the choices that an author makes when choosing sources, evidence, experiences and organization of the work. The choices being made have to be in relation to the overall benefit of the argument or thought on an issue. The audience is going to be how the author is influenced to use certain word choice, phrases and examples. An example of how an audience can influence a work is through stand up comedy; whether or not a certain joke works in a certain region an artist may not use that joke or tweak it to appeal to the audience. The tone of the author can affect the work in a positive or negative way especially when dealing with credibility. The author could come off as biased if the tone is too lenient toward one way. 

Defining Credibility. 

When defining the credibility of an issue the author must have a broad and open mind when discussing issues. Understanding both sides of the argument is very beneficial when speaking on an issue and can give the organization more importance when presenting the argument. What may others say about the issue? Who may have had an experience with an issue, and how they may feel should be taken into account. The critiques of a work should be explored before publishing as well. The counter arguments to an issue should steer the organization of the work in a way to be more compelling. The author may be able to prevent counter arguments by laying them out and having examples to why those counter arguments do not seem relevant. 

Revising Credibility.  Once all of these measures have been applied to the work prior to publishing it’s time to revise the work based on the counter measures that could be had in the discussion. This revising process can eliminate useless facts that don’t support the writing as another more important and relevant fact. The most credible facts are going to be the most believable and most important facts should be revealed toward the end of the work to emphasize its importance. All sides of the argument are to be addressed so that you can understand the importance of arguments and improve the piece of writing. Finally summarizing all of these findings into a more cohesive, persuasive and credible way.
