Standards

Editorial policy

How we research, write, review and correct what we publish.

Our commitments

  • Content is attributed only to real, identified authors.
  • Program details, deadlines and funding amounts are taken from official sources and dated when verified.
  • We do not publish testimonials, partnerships or endorsements we cannot substantiate.
  • We do not sell listings or exchange links for placement.
  • Incomplete content stays unpublished until reviewed.

Review

Where an article names a reviewer, a second person has checked its facts against the cited sources. Each article shows when it was published, updated and fact-checked.

Corrections

We correct errors promptly. Material corrections are noted on the page with the date of the change.

A dedicated address for correction requests will be published here shortly. Please include the page address, what needs correcting, and a source for the correct information.

This policy is a working summary and will be expanded as the publication grows.
