Certain criteria should be privileged in order to offer our readers high-quality content that will attract their attention:

• Factual writing (objectivity should be privileged)

Review and the right to modify

• To correct typos

*Citing sources

If you use a fact or statistic that comes from your own research, please mention this and provide us with the link to the results of your research.
If you use a fact, statistic, or citation that is not your own, you must mention its original source and consistently provide the link to the article or study so that this fact or statistic can be verified and substantiated. This rule also applies when you paraphrase information found in an external source of information.

You must provide a link to a study when you assert the position of a group of individuals by using a formula such as: “most agronomists predict that,” “scientists are convinced that,” or “research shows that.”

The information that you share should ideally come from reliable information sites, government studies, or articles published in scientific journals.
In addition, make sure that you hold the copyright to the images that you attach to your text or that you have obtained permission from the photographer. Make sure to mention the photographer and the photo.
