Our editorial process

We strive to provide information that is accurate, current and backed by facts and evidence. Our editorial process for publishing accurate, fact-checked, high-quality content is as follows:

  1. Review the Sources: We check where the information is coming from. Are the sources reliable and trustworthy? If they’re quoting research, we make sure we can trace it back to the original source. Sources must be high-quality primary sources (scientific journals, academic institutions) or reputable media outlets vetted by third-party credibility assessments (e.g., NewsGuard, Media Fact Check Bias). All of our sources are backlinked in our articles for transparency.
  2. Verify Claims: We cross-check any claims made in the article by comparing them with other credible sources. Where needed, we use trusted fact-checking websites and official databases to confirm accuracy (Snopes, Politifact).
  3. Watch for Clear, Accurate Language: We pay attention to any potential bias in the article if needed (i.e., any News coverage). If there’s any ambiguity, exaggeration, or emotional language that could mislead the reader, we flag it.
  4. Checking Quotes and Statistics: We check that all quotes are accurate and properly attributed. Any statistics used should be backed by reliable data and presented in context.
  5. Checking Dates and Events: We ensure that any dates or events mentioned are correct and that the information is up-to-date.
  6. Check Visuals: If the article uses images or charts, we confirm they’re relevant and accurately sourced. We often run images through a reverse search to avoid misleading visuals and confirm primary sourcing if the original source is in question.
  7. Consult Experts When Necessary: If the content is about something complicated, we make sure to source material backed by experts in the field, using quotations where needed to support. We also make sure that any source material, if not primary, is fact-checked and/or medically reviewed (mainly health-related content) by a relevant specialist (e.g., a Dietician medically reviewing nutrition-related content).

Use Fact-Checking Tools: We use fact-checking websites such as Snopes, Politifact, and FactCheck.org (and SciCheck). Other valuable websites, such as Science Media Center, add valuable context to trending, often polarized topics. Sources are also vetted based on their bias and track record for publishing accurate, non-misleading, and responsibly presented material. Examples of these 3rd party websites/organizations include NewsGuard and Media Fact Check Bias.

Our Correction policy: We are committed to informing our users when we discover an error in our stories. We encourage our readers and members of our staff to lets our editorial team know if a story is incorrect or requires updating. We strive to be as transparent as possible by outlining what was wrong and how it was corrected. Anyone should be able to understand how and why a mistake has been corrected.
