Editorial standards

Standards for everything we publish.

Rules that protect accuracy, independence and clarity.

Evidence and attribution

Material factual claims require an identifiable source. Estimates, assumptions and opinions are labelled.

Commercial relationships do not determine conclusions. Relevant conflicts are disclosed clearly.

We check factual accuracy, consistency, calculations and unsupported language before publication.

Material errors are corrected promptly on the same page, explaining what changed and when.

Technology may assist research and drafting, but does not replace human judgement. Material claims and calculations are reviewed.

Questions about a publication or correction can be submitted through the contact page.
