I don't think this is worth a whole new post, if I understand you right. You can label sources however you please as long as it's sufficient. If it's a direct quote, I put in block quotes
Like this
And include the sources at the bottom with adequate description. Others add a footnote-style aspect to their postss like this1 <--- in which you can put 1, 2 or 3 repeatedly for multiple uses.
Basically as long as the authors or artists are noted, and they've given permission to do so, you're doing it right =)
Thank you for specifying @mobbs. Correct sourcing is of absolute importance to me when it comes to steemstem or steemit in general. Im quite versed in the writing styles of scientific journals and have really only been very active on steemit for the past 3 months, and only aware of steemstem the last month an a half. Ways of sourcing information have not been clear as I have seen it done absolutely to the book as well as "loosely". Honestly it should have been obvious to me as this is a source of revenue and can very well go under copy write infringement. Thank you for specifying and also confirming to me the strict guidance I will now adhere too. I would just like to do things right.
Glad you found some value here! Yeah most mainstream journalism fails to meet many of these requirements, often citing their own home page as a source, or just not citing anything and just adding a footnote in the about section. Not sufficient but enough for them to bypass law, for the most part I guess
