Content Guidelines

Our mission is to provide reliable, accurate, and valuable information on digital topics. These guidelines help ensure that all content on the Digital Knowledge Hub maintains consistent quality and adheres to our standards.

Content Quality Standards

Accuracy

All content must be factually accurate and based on reliable sources. Claims should be verifiable through credible references. When presenting opinions or interpretations, make it clear that these are perspectives rather than established facts.

Comprehensiveness

Articles should thoroughly cover their subject matter, addressing key aspects of the topic. While not every article needs to be exhaustive, it should provide substantial information that gives readers a solid understanding of the subject.

Clarity

Content should be clear, concise, and accessible to the intended audience. Use simple language when possible, and explain specialized terminology. Structure your content with logical flow and appropriate headings to enhance readability.

Currency

Information should be up-to-date and reflect current understanding of the topic. For rapidly evolving fields, indicate when the content was last reviewed or updated.

Originality

Content should offer unique value through original analysis, explanation, or synthesis of information. Direct copying from other sources is not permitted. Always attribute ideas and information to their original sources.
