cause you should
Because if you look for that author you can learn more things that you don't now
One reason would be so that your own biases are not unknowingly prejudiced. Understanding from where someone is coming when reading their writing will help you to understand to some extent the purpose, or ulterior motive, behind the writing. Not all writing is about what you actually read. Consider the point of propaganda.

i have been looking for the same answer... But i think it's Module 1...... Hope this helped.
the answer is to remove caultural biases in the pursuit of truth and to help further understand our world's phenomenon.
An example from the history of science that illustrates the importance of leaving personal biases behind is the rejection of Semmelweis' findings on handwashing in the 19th century. At the time, his work challenging prevailing medical beliefs was met with skepticism and resistance from the medical community due to entrenched biases. This delayed the acceptance of his discoveries and had significant consequences for public health.
Professional affiliation in an article refers to the organization or institution that the author is associated with, such as a university or research institute. This affiliation can impact the credibility and reliability of the content because it indicates the author's expertise and potential biases. Authors affiliated with reputable institutions are more likely to produce trustworthy and well-researched content, while those with questionable affiliations may have conflicts of interest or lack credibility.
Dehumanizing biases are types of biases that cause the mistreatment of others based on belonging to certain groups. These biases include prejudice, sexism, racism, and discrimination.
Source documents are important so we can see what was really happening during any one period of time. If we relay on second hand accounts, we will take on the biases of the authors.
When reading conference reviews, it is important to consider the credibility of the reviewer, the depth of analysis provided, the relevance of the review to your research interests, and any potential biases that may influence the review.

You didn't give us the choices, but as a professor, I can tell you that you always want to know who wrote an article before you quote it-- whether it's for a science paper or any other paper. The reason is simple: the author might be well-known for having biases, or the author may have a reputation for not being reliable. Conversely, the author might be well-respected and considered very fair. If you know who the author is, you can find out what his or her reputation is, and if it's not so good, you don't want to use what was in their article. With science, you especially want to know about the author's reputation, because he or she might be someone who believes in pseudo-science (fake science, like myths) or they might be someone who is paid by a particular corporation to have a corporate point of view, rather than a scientific point of view. And finally, you may want to see if this author wrote the article a long time ago; years later, he or she may have changed, due to new information or different circumstances from when the research was first done.
