If the method how the plot boxes are calculated is not clear (this thread references at least two different methods), you'll need to explicitly write it down which methods you did use.

No, as the sidethread comment notes, there is only one way you can compute quartiles. You seem to be arguing that the correct thing to do is to impute them, and that calculating them is such a deviant practice that it would need to be specially remarked on.
That might be what you were saying from the beginning, but the only thing that that would establish is that you're completely out of touch with reality. Box plots are made for visualizing quartiles.
Your theory would imply, among other things, that the median line going through the box part of a box plot always divides it in half, which obviously is not the case.
