The credibility of an Article

The credibility of sources is dependent on the reliability of information for supporting a

particular study, the author's credentials and the reputation of the publishing organization. The

chosen article “Differential Associations of Religious Involvement with the Mental Health of

Asian-American Subgroups: A Cultural Perspective” by Amy A, Hoa B. and Appel Ethel.

Details about one of the authors, academic training and the institutions where they work are

indicated in the article. However, there is no indication of the author’s publications in the past.

One of the authors, Amy Ai, has been involved in an article on the same topic but with a

different publication indicating the reliability and credibility of the source. The author seems to

be an expert in the field, and her thoughts are valuable on the particular topic, and the evidence is

considered more persuasive.

The authors are not associated with any particular group or association that would result

in any form of conscious or unconscious bias on the topic. The authors rather seem to be

motivated by the increasing growth of the minority ethnic group of the Asian Americans which

shows an increase in the heterogenic patterns of the religious patterns and experiences and their

impact on the individuals’ mental health and the ethnic group’s association of cultural factors

affecting their mental and physical health.

The article was published in a journal, The Journal of Religion and Health, thus making

it a more credible source on the topic. The journal is popular based on matters concerning health

and religion. I have gained familiarity with the publication in my research. The journal is widely

held and offers peer-reviewed publications exploring religion and its impact on health research.
