====Citing papers====
We want to cite scientific research where possible to justify this approach. One way is to use the ''''proveit'''' gadget that should appear in the bottom right corner while editing - see the video tutorials mentioned above for more details.
Another (external) tool is http://sumsearch.org/cite/ - if you have a unique reference for the journal in one of various formats (such as a <nowiki>https://doi.org/...</nowiki> url), you can enter that into the box and will generate a fancy '''<nowiki><ref>{{cite...}}</ref></nowiki>''' sequence with title, authors, journal, etc that you can simply paste in.
