---

---

Due to the great amount of content that is posted on the STEEM Blockchain every day, the curator team of Alexandria's Library project is compelled to find the most valuable content in this giant ocean of Steemit. We would like gather Steemit posts in a library of sorts, to realize the first bibliographic exhibition on the blockchain. Finding and resteeming as well as curating all the best finds either weekly, monthly or annually.

These are the guidelines to be followed:

General Guidelines

• Only Original Content. No Plagiarism.
• +500 words.
• Good Grammar.
• No paraphrasing.
• No Abusive or Sensitive Content.
• No Reposts. Content has to be fresh.
• No Google Translated posts.
• References and images have to be properly cited.
• Adequate Formatting.
• Only posts related to the main topics: Philosophy, History, Sciences, and Literature.
• Only outstanding content, average posts will be likely rejected.
  
  
  

  Specific Guidelines

Philosophy Guidelines

• Opinions, ideas, arguments, and thoughts have to be objective.
• No fallacies.
• Philosophers’ quotes and books’ references have to be properly cited.

History Guidelines

• Historical precision.
• No anachronisms or incoherencies.
• Historical references have to be perfectly cited.

Science Guidelines

• Objectivity.
• Sources have to be perfectly cited, otherwise, the post will probably be disqualified.
