So keep in mind that you can say a nice word or compliment before you start quoting information from the text you are referring to, such as ‚‚ … the wonderful research done by …. ”or ‚‚ a perfect indicator and proof can be found in the text of …”.
3. It is important to note the title of the text from which you took the information – it is also important to state the title of the text from which you took the information. Why is that important?

It is also a small thank you to the person who has already written a text on a similar or the same topic because you have used information and for that you point to this title as a source of important, accurate and verified information and opinion.

   

4. It is important to provide a link from which the original information can be viewed – you also need to know that there is another recommendation or rule, and that is to provide a link that refers to the information, ie to provide from which link originates the information and data that you have shared in your text. In a very easy and simple way, the readers will be able to confirm that in fact everything is fine, ie that you are downloading the information, that it was previously published and that it is above all true and not invented, because today it means a lot to the readers.
5. Of course, indicate the date when the content was published to know when the information dates back to that form – it is also important to provide one piece of information, ie data that will let readers know how old the information is, and that is the date of publication of the information.

All this has a certain meaning and symbolism, so it is necessary to state this information.
