What is an Answer?

A good Answer has the following characteristics:

1. Short: Takes 3-5 minutes to read. It’s okay if your read time is over 5 minutes as long as there is no unnecessary information present in your Answer.

2. Highly technical: The content is explained in a concise and comprehensive manner. There should be no personal opinion present.

3. Interactive: All Answers must contain at least one interactive element. This could be: an executable code widget, an illustration, a graph, a table, or another visual element. The interactive elements you choose to add must enhance the quality of your Answer.

4. Self-contained: Every Answer must be comprehensive, meaning the reader does not need to navigate to another source or article to understand the topic. The only links allowed in an Answer are those to official documentation and other Answers.

5. Original: Educative Answers does not tolerate plagiarism in any form. All submitted Answers will be checked for plagiarism before they are added to the Educative review process. For more information on the Educative Answers plagiarism policy, click here.
