Neutrality & Objectivity

  • Use measured, academic language
  • Attribute claims to reliable sources
  • Avoid speculative or editorial phrasing

Citation & Verification

Every factual assertion requires traceable, reputable sourcing. Primary sources are preferred over aggregators.

  • Use standard citation formats (APA/Chicago)

Structure & Readability

  • Limit jargon; define specialized terms
