What is expected of me

Total transparency for the reader

I leave no ambiguity between what comes from me and what comes from another.

Traceability of all sources

I name, record, and categorize all the sources used.

Reproduction of sources with method

I am brief and comprehensive. I introduce the quote within quotation marks in a logical manner in the sentence. I modify it by adding brackets […].

Use of paraphrasing in a rigorous and parsimonious manner

Even if I use my own words, I explicitly cite the author from whom I borrowed the idea.

Construction of the bibliography

I am precise in classifying authors with their references according to an identical model for each source.
