Students of New Subjects Make Great Online Article Writers

We know that many students write research papers and turn them in for their upper division classes. Just because they have written a research paper on a very limited niche in a scientific domain does not mean they know what they're talking about. Of course there must be peer reviews and then they need to get them published. In online article writing often writers or authors will discuss a certain subject as if they are an expert or authority on the topic.

Many people will look at a student of a certain subject and read what they are writing and assume that the student is expert. Of course a student of a certain subject cannot be an expert because they have limited time in the domain and they are a student not an authority. But how can the reader know the difference if the article is put onto the Internet online?

Another huge problem is many experts wish to persuade the reader into believing a certain point of view and rather than stating this or admitting that their article is an opinion, they will state the information as fact. If they pretend to be an expert in their field they can pull a fast one on the reader, because the reader believes that they know what they're talking about.

Perhaps you can see the problematic situations which arise when readers are duped into thinking that they are reading information from an expert or that the information they are reading is legitimate, when actuality it is nothing more than opinion. A student on a subject matter who is busy reviewing information makes an excellent online article writer because all the information is fresh in their head to draw upon as they are writing.

Nevertheless, what they're doing is regurgitating information rather than giving you an expert viewpoint and this is something the reader should consider and think about before accepting this information into their brain as fact.
