  • Scholarly relevance. Prioritise credible primary sources and peer-reviewed publications that directly support the research problem, theoretical framework, methods, and discussion.

  • Recency. Include recent research where relevant, while retaining seminal works needed to establish the theoretical foundation.

  • DOI. Present DOI information as a resolvable link in the form https://doi.org/... whenever a DOI is available.
