The Feynman test

“Explain it without the jargon.”

Each resource should still make sense to a reader who is opening it for the first time. A legal term can stay precise without becoming opaque.

The inverted pyramid

“Put the useful fact first.”

The opening line aims to answer the obvious question: what is this resource, is it free, and why might I need it today?

Citations follow OSCOLA (4th edition) conventions for online sources.

'Title' (Publisher, Date) <URL> accessed [date]
