Do authority sites prefer to link to blogs or websites?

Blog or Website for authority links?

[Goodfellas]

Imagine you have a medical related domain for which you would like to build 'authority' backlinks, ideally from .gov and .edu type of links... would you recommend building a blog or a website?

The purpose for the website/blog is to provide solid information; research findings, statistics, ideas etc.. and will be updated regularly. The primary objective however, is to request backlinks from well-established 'authority' websites.

Your suggestions will be duly appreciated!

A lot of value in their comments! Thanks guys...

Oh and Wheel, we gotta talk! lol

If you have the useful content for academic use , it will gain number of referral links as well, for example, research paper for particular industry. Also professor's blog are also influence links as well.
