@SilverSeastar

The strengths you listed are great but also thought inducing if you read them before glancing at the article. I feel it did a good job of highlighting bits but also serving as an influence to read it.
For the EAT review, you picked the article well. When I submitted, I blanked on being able to add suggestions for furthering their EAT areas but you went right in and found what was needed with expertise.
It looks like you did a bit more research than on 7Cups, and that is dedication right there. Looking at their amazon? It works well if you are truly trying to determine the accuracy and authoritativeness they have on this topic.

The graphic you created fits perfectly. Gives me a sort of Mulan feel of her fighting to be herself.

@SilverSeastar

great article choice (as i love affirmations)

EAT review:
i like how you noticed that you did research off 7cups and found that they have a book with positive views and that they have articles off the website too. That is a great way to see if they are authoritative and an expert. Also great job on the trust section, its always great to have an author that cites their research

Your graphic: i think its a very encouraging self-affirmation. great job

@Mari228

I like this post because it is informative. Perhaps add more visual content? There is a lot of text.

@SoulfullyAButterfly

I chose the “Mood Swings Counseling and Treatment” article. I believe that three strengths include being thorough, concise, and informative.

Expertise: I believe that this article is comprehensive yet digestible. It gives a lot of information but not too much to be overwhelming. However I think the use of backlinks would have been helpful. The writer could have supplemented the keywords: Bpd, bipolar and self care to direct members to articles that would broaden their understanding on those topics.

Authority: There was a lot of good information in this article. However, there were not many citations.

Trust: Since there were no citations, there were no external sources mentioned. Again, citations can help boost the trust in this article. There was also no biography of the writer.

It won't let me post the graphic. I'm going to try again as another reply. Sorry!

@sellistens

@sellistens

First of all, I really liked the graphic you have created. It's really visualizing and creative. 🤩

Article topic is also really good. I feel we need more content to be written on mood swings as it's really common experience related to general emotions felt by many individuals.

Strength mentioned and EAT points are precise. I liked it.

It would be really great  if EAT points were in bullets, and

Title selected was hyperlinked. So that we can also read reviewed article.

1) Article: I’m so OCD"— Unless You Actually Are, Stop Saying It. Here’s Why.

https://www.7cups.com/experts/article/why-you-should-never-say-im-so-ocd-unless-you-really-are

2) Mention 3 top strengths of the article in terms of Best Practices.

The article is helpful and informative, and it uses destigmatizing language. It also combines personal experience, as well as two different sources to confirm the facts stated.

3) Review the article for EAT (expertise, authority, and trustworthiness) and list at least 2 comments for each of the three factors (can be things followed or tips to boost EAT).

Expertise

The writer of the article is a Social Media Manager for the National Council for Behavioral Health.

She also previously managed group support and the teen community on 7 Cups.

She has experience working on crisis and suicide prevention hotlines and other mental health organizations.

Authority

The author has three other published articles on 7 Cups.

The article has two different links, one to an OCD path and the other to some information on mental health. The article would benefit from a link to a research article.

Trust

She has worked with national mental health nonprofit organizations.

The article could be improved with more sources. There is only a link to a growth path and a link to a 7-cup page unrelated to OCD. It needs to be linked to the topic at hand.

@SoulfullyAButterflyI picked the article Powerful Ways To Improve Your Body Image

Some things they did very well are making the writing very conversational. They ask lots of questions and the article is written in a very friendly way while still being very informative. Something else they also do well is providing empathy. They recognize common situations or thoughts that might occur and reassure the reader that these thoughts are not unreasonable. Lastly they made their article easily shareable. The writing is easy to remember and also very equally informative.

She also talks about her experience in the beginning which allows people to trust her professionalism.

@Clarezg I like your post.
