Accountability

Sources, credits and corrections.

Good publishing shows readers where claims and images came from, and makes uncertainty visible.

Research standard

Primary documents, standards bodies, public institutions and peer-reviewed research are preferred for factual claims. Personal experience may illuminate a subject but is not presented as universal evidence. Health and trauma material is written conservatively and does not replace qualified care.

Image standard

Corrections

Pages are dated by publication rather than presented as timeless. When evidence changes, the wording should change with it. No anonymous testimonials, invented institutional claims or synthetic survivor quotations are published as fact.
