These recommendations specifically elucidate the principles of composition, as well as the linguistic and stylistic aspects of a typical encyclopedia article. In this paper, the author underscores the importance of maintaining academic integrity in encyclopedic writing and illustrating. The study is presented in a manner that enables potential contributors of encyclopedic content to grasp not only what information to include and how to structure it but also to recognize what pitfalls to avoid, thereby mitigating common errors in article writing. 2023 65 76 10.37068/evu.15.6 https://evu.encyclopedia.kyiv.ua/article/112 https://evu.encyclopedia.kyiv.ua/doi/10.37068/evu.15.6.pdf Battistella, E.
