Any book, article, website, picture, artefact, or other source you used to write your article should be, at minimum, listed at the end. Ideally, include footnotes whenever you refer to a specific piece of information from a source and tell us where you got it. All images used in the article must be referenced for copyright reasons, and we would prefer you to confirm permission from the copyright holder before use.
The key information we need from any source is its title, author, publisher or online location, and the date it was published or accessed. If you’re not sure about referencing format, just include as much of this information as you can.
