Corrections Policy
1. Our Commitment
Accuracy matters. When we get something wrong, we correct it clearly and without delay. This policy explains how corrections are handled, how readers can flag errors, and how changes are recorded on published content.
2. Scope
2.1 Factual Errors
A factual error is any statement of fact that is demonstrably incorrect — including technical specifications, dates, names, statistics, or attributed quotes. These are corrected promptly and a correction notice is added to the article.
2.2 Outdated Information
Where information was accurate at the time of publication but has since changed, articles may be updated with a note indicating the date of update and what has changed. This is distinct from a correction and does not imply an original error.
2.3 Opinion and Analysis
This policy applies to matters of fact, not opinion or editorial judgement. Disagreements with an author's conclusions or perspective are not covered by this corrections process, though reader feedback is always welcome.
3. How Corrections Are Handled
3.1 No Silent Edits
We do not silently overwrite errors. Any factual correction to a published article will be accompanied by a clearly visible correction notice within the article, stating what was changed and when.
3.2 Correction Notice Format
Correction notices appear at the top of the affected article and include the date the correction was made and a brief description of what was amended. The original incorrect text is not preserved in the published version, but the correction notice provides sufficient context for readers to understand what changed.
3.3 Response Time
We aim to review reported errors within 48 hours of receipt. Corrections are published as quickly as the editorial process allows, and no later than five working days after an error is confirmed.
4. Reporting an Error
If you believe you have identified a factual error in any of our content, we want to hear from you. Please use our contact page and include the following:
- —The URL of the article containing the error
- —A description of the specific claim you believe is incorrect
- —Any sources or evidence supporting the correction
All reports are reviewed by an editor. We will respond to confirm receipt and communicate our findings once reviewed.
