How does Google determine EAT for a content creator?

Page 22 of the Google search quality evaluator guidelines tells us, in relation to determining page quality ratings, that "it’s important to research the reputation of the content creator" if the website owner is not the content creator.

Page 53 tells us "high quality pages have adequate information about the website and content creator for the purpose of the page".

My questions are: What kind of information about the content creator should be on the website?

Also, how does Google determine the reputation of a content creator?

Having content on well-respected sites?

Do qualifications come into play? For example, does a writer with a PhD in engineering get better EAT than someone with only a Masters? How does Google find this information?

As a content creator, what should you focus your energy on to get a higher EAT score?

At many places, I have read that EAT is nothing but backlinks.

Incomeschool tells to do industry outreach, interviews etc to establish credibility in the eyes of Google and they themselves run a content production agency

The eeat is content change .

The backlink update got nothing todo with eeat.

Its like a profile thing for professional content writers with certain qualifications in that specific field. Best example is Webmd to understand that concept. Hope you understand what I am trying to say here.

So it's only based on academic qualifications?

It should be checking the social media profiles linked with the author's name to establish his /her authority. So creating as many genuine looking social profiles is a must.

I have some fake writers in my website. I created their real looking accounts in social media.

For example:

1. Guest post on authoritative sites.
2. Secure interview opportunities.
3. Appear on podcasts.
4. Partner with influencers.
