> There's no guarantee of quality other than the author's credential and history. Actually, a publication like the New York Times purports to have a strict editorial process. If Krugman were to write an op/ed piece claiming Martians understand economics better than Jovians but not as well as Venusians, the NYT probably wouldn't publish it. So in addition to "credential" and "history" you can add "editorial vetting" or something worded similarly.
