Sub-Module 5: Presentation

Please note that the full content of the module is available to registered participants of COI training courses only.

Once you’ve completed this module, you will know how to:

  • formulate a query response

  • reference sources and information in a transparent and traceable way

  • make corroboration visible

Finding information is not everything – presentation and documentation of research results also matter!

In this sub-module, you will be introduced to the last step of the research cycle: the presentation of the information you’ve found through your research.


When presenting research results, skills for formulating a query response or another COI product are needed and the referencing of sources becomes crucial. The style and language of a COI product, along with the use of referencing, disclaimers and internal documentation, have all got the same objective: to enable the readers of the COI product to get a clear picture of the situation in the country and to trace the information back to the original sources. Therefore, the guiding principle behind this sub-module is the quality standard of Transparency and Traceability.

This module is primarily addressed to professional COI researchers. However, the standard of transparency and retrievability is equally important to all participants of the asylum procedure
