A starting point for the publisher
This policy is a template for publisher review. Replace it with an accurate account of the publication’s actual editorial process before relying on it.
Accuracy and sources
Describe how claims are checked, how sources are selected, and how uncertainty is communicated. Articles may include source links where research references are available.
Corrections and transparency
Set out how readers can report errors, how corrections are assessed, and how material changes are communicated. Provide the verified contact channel.
Technology and conflicts of interest
Explain the actual use of automation or AI, any human oversight, sponsorship, commercial relationships, and relevant conflicts of interest. Do not imply a review process that is not in place.
