+## Validation
+
+It is recommended that you add a validation to ensure that the author do not vote multiple times on the same resource and its scope.
+This validation is not inside the gem since you could want make your own custom validation.
+
+```ruby
+validates :author_id, uniqueness: {
+  case_sensitive: false,
+  scope:          %i[author_type resource_id resource_type scopeable_id scopeable_type]
+}
