Типичные ошибки

Неверно:

Неверно:
(World Health Organization, 2023) - using comma

Часто задаваемые вопросы
Should I cite the post date or my access date? ▼
Both: post date after the username, access date at the end.
What if the post is very long? ▼
Use first 20 words or first complete sentence (whichever is shorter), then [...] to show truncation.
Can I cite retweets or reshares? ▼
Cite the original post and creator, not the account that reposted. Mention the share in your text if relevant.
