An authoritative voice is considered an independent point of view of a researcher. Gaining credibility in research is part of the development of the researcher’s authoritative voice. • What would you consider an authoritative source? • If you are shown an article without being told the name of the author or the journal, how you will be able to judge the quality? To support your work, use the online library. Cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format. Your initial posting should be addressed at 150-300 words.
