Our Contribution Principles

Neutrality

Present information from a neutral point of view, giving appropriate weight to different perspectives. Avoid advocacy, promotional content, or bias in your writing.

Verifiability

All information must be verifiable from reliable, published sources. This includes academic journals, books from reputable publishers, and mainstream news sources. Personal blogs, social media, and self-published works are generally not considered reliable sources.

Accessibility

Write in clear, concise language that is accessible to a general audience. Explain technical terms, avoid jargon where possible, and structure content in a logical, easy-to-follow manner.

Attribution

Properly cite all sources using a consistent citation format. This ensures readers can verify information and gives appropriate credit to original authors.
