Hi folks,
I just wonder if this sentence is correct in grammar and natural word choice?
"No matter how many sources the author Y has, she is still able to convince readers through her analytic methods. This is evident in the way she came to conclusions about (her finding)..."
Is "this is evident in the way" a proper way to say?
Thank you for your help!

Re: Using "evidence" as an expression
Yes, that's fine. The word 'evident' is an adjective, so 'This is evident' here is like saying 'This is obvious' or 'This can be seen clearly' in the way that she came to conclusions. Or turning the sentence around: 'The way that she came to conclusions is evidence of this.'
