In one sentence

Material written or reviewed by someone with the standing to speak on the subject.

Analogy Mental model

A health article by a doctor reads differently from one by a passer-by, and on medical advice the difference is not stylistic.

In practice What you actually do

On money and health topics, put a named person above the fold with a biography naming where they trained, what they practise, and a link to a registry. Reviewed by is a real sentence only when a real person reviewed it.
