In scholarly or research work, how is the credibility of the writing usually proven? (site 1)

To determine the credibility of an academic writing one has to take some steps, this include:

1. Checking the credentials and the affiliations of the writer from the written paper. This will allows you to know if the author has an authority by means of his qualifications to write on a particular topic.

2. Checking out the other papers that the author has written in related topic.

3. Ensuring that the work is plagiarism free by checking to see if the work was properly peer reviewed.

4. Checking the sources that the author used in his work to see if all sources are properly referenced.

Hope this helped!

- "a nonrestrictive clause functions as a modifier to a noun (that is an object, person or concept). these clauses can be described by the following three options: it is set off by comas, it contains a subject and a verbs and it adds nonessential information to the sentence.

for example, in "here is bill gates, who confounded microsoft software company" we can identify "who confounded microsoft software company" as a nonrestrictive clause modifying the noun bill gates. this clause can be describes as a nonrestrictive clause because it is separated by a comma, it adds nonessential information to identify who bill gates is and it must contain both a subject (who) and a verb (confounded)."

the answer should be the first one. "many people find his lyrics very moving."

it by far makes the most grammatical sense and is very objective, removing any first person from the original sentence and keeping with the sentence fluency.
