Citation & use
Make the source visible.
The essays are published to be read, discussed and connected to further work. Clear attribution keeps that conversation traceable.
Citing an essay
Use the author, essay title, original publication date, sparla.com and the permanent page URL. Every essay now provides a ready-to-copy citation beneath its introduction.
Quoting and linking
Short quotations with attribution and a link to the canonical page are welcome. The text and locally stored images remain © Jeroen Sparla unless a page states otherwise.
Republication, translation and datasets
Please ask before republishing a complete essay, publishing a translation, or including substantial text or images in a commercial or public dataset. Indexing, ordinary search crawling and linking are welcome.
