Source Tiers: In regards to articles that dive into technical information and facts, I typically look for Tier 1 and 2 sources preferably academic journals and credible sources.

Writers should also demonstrate thorough research with hyperlinks to referenced businesses, events, and people.

Human Sources: Articles should feature at least 1 adult source in addition to at least 1 student source and any more sources to have at least 3 human sources. Articles should feature at least one source that is an expert in the field or topic that is being written about
