Our commitment
We aim to publish accurate information. When we get something wrong, we want to correct it clearly and promptly. Corrections are not hidden — where a substantive change is made, it is labeled so readers know what changed.
How to report an error
If you believe something on this site is inaccurate, you can report it through our Contact page. The reporting channel is the same as our general contact channel.
To help us respond usefully, please include:
- The URL of the page where the issue appears.
- The specific sentence or claim you believe is inaccurate.
- What you believe the correct information is.
- If possible, a source that supports the correction.
You do not need to be a medical professional to report an error. Clear reader reports are valuable, and we take them seriously.
What happens next
Reports are reviewed by the editorial team. Depending on the nature of the report, we may:
- Verify the claim against primary sources.
- Consult additional references if the issue is technical.
- Revise the text if the report is confirmed.
- Explain our reasoning if we conclude that no change is needed.
We do not currently promise a specific response time. The process and the team involved are still being defined, and we would rather not commit to a timeline we cannot reliably meet. Once a stable process is in place, this section will be updated with more detail.
How corrections are labeled
The way a correction is labeled depends on how significant it is.
| Type of change | How it is handled |
|---|---|
| Typographical or formatting fix | Corrected silently; no note added. |
| Minor clarification that does not change meaning | Corrected silently, or noted briefly if useful to readers. |
| Substantive factual correction | A correction note is added near the top or bottom of the article, describing what changed. |
| Correction that changes the article's conclusions | Correction note added, "Updated" date changed, and the nature of the change described. |
| Retraction | The article is removed or clearly marked as retracted, with an explanation. |
Correction notes describe what was changed. They are not removed later, even after the article has been updated further.
When the date is updated
The "Updated" date at the top of an article is changed only when there has been a substantive revision. Minor edits, formatting changes, and link updates do not change the date.
Dates are not updated automatically. An article that has not changed does not receive a new date simply because time has passed.
