A substantive examination requires the source, complete context and a precise question. The translation, quotation and original publication must be distinguishable in the set supplied.
- Supply the full text or recording rather than an isolated quotation.
- Identify the language, translator and translation version if known.
- Preserve images together with their captions and composition.
- Describe the task without asking about guilt or the acceptability of beliefs.
