We aim to guarantee that any fact, figure or quotation is checked for precision and credibility by our fact-checkers. This applies to all posts/articles published in our web-magazine/journal.
Authors are
expected to write with fact-checking in mind and should be ready to provide
source material and to discuss and respond questions.
We work on copy as
close to the final version as deadlines allow.
We check against
original sources that we believe to be reliable; for items that cannot be confirmed
directly we procedure a view based on other reliable information.
We also consider
whether the framework and appearance of the facts are fair.
There is no
standard procedure and the approaches adopted will depend on the nature of the
material and the need for timely reporting of news/analyses.
We discuss questions
with the author or editor.
All enquiries must
be resolved before a story is published. The final says on any matter rests
with the editor.
