- If you are writing a literature review, you should discuss how you found your references, including your search terms and the venues that you searched, so that you can claim that you have performed a *systematic* literature review.
- Reference every source that you use, no matter how trivial.
- If your reference is more than 20 pages, include the page number of where the specific item was found.
For Faculty
- Don't write what the papers do wrong, write how they could be improved.
