Check the evidence
Sources & corrections.
Readers should be able to trace important claims, understand their context, and tell us when something needs attention.
Where we look first
Depending on the subject, useful source types may include official statistics, government and intergovernmental reports, academic research, laws and regulations, original documents, company disclosures, and expert technical resources. Source quality depends on the claim being assessed.
How we use sources
We aim to link to the original source rather than a summary when accessible. Readers should check publication dates, methodology, geographic scope, units, and whether a number is measured, estimated, forecast, or modelled.
Request a correction
Email hello@example.com with the article URL, the relevant claim, and supporting evidence. We assess requests on their merits. We may correct, clarify, update, or leave an item unchanged after review.
Article-level sources
For each article, add links to the actual evidence used while writing it. Do not leave generic source language in place of citations, and do not cite sources that have not been read and verified.
