Corrections
The editors of the “Verified” project strive to offer its readers the most complete and factually correct information. We understand our responsibility to our audience and therefore make every effort to achieve this goal. However, like any people and publications, we are not immune to errors of varying degrees of severity. Understanding that it is almost impossible to completely avoid them, we are ready to admit that we are wrong in situations where the author of the analysis and/or the editor made a mistake, and we voluntarily undertake to follow these Rules.
Any “Checked” reader can report that the text may contain an error via feedback form, as well as in a letter to the author of the material or one of the editors at the addresses indicated on the page "About the project". Readers can also inform us through Verified social media accounts by sending a private message.
We are committed to reviewing all correction suggestions submitted through the feedback channels listed above. We do not guarantee that information about a potential error will be considered by the editors if you let us know about it in other ways (for example, in the comments under posts on our social networks).
We ask readers, if you find an error, to whenever possible provide your reports about it with links to authoritative sources confirming your point of view.
If the presence of an error in the analysis is confirmed, we undertake to correct the publication as follows. After making the necessary changes, the original publication is supplemented with a “Correction” section, which is placed at the end of the material. This section explicitly indicates the error made, and also lists all elements of the publication (including the title, verdict, image caption, etc.) that have changed as a result of its correction, along with a description of these changes. The “Correction” section must be provided with the date of changes and a link to an archived copy of the original publication. If the material has been changed several times, the “Correction” section should describe all changes made.
We undertake to promptly correct any errors found. Material corrected due to the discovery of an error is subject to prompt re-posting on social networks “Verified” with a description of the changes made.
The above obligations do not apply to minor inaccuracies that do not affect the overall perception of the text and/or the verdict rendered. Such inaccuracies include typos, spelling and punctuation errors, minor errors in numbers or dates, as well as incompletely verbatim translations of quotes from texts in foreign languages, if such translations do not distort the overall meaning of the quote. Correction of such inaccuracies does not require adding a “Correction” section to the material.
If the reader believes that any of the materials violate the provisions IFCN Code, he can report this to IFCN using page With complaints on the IFCN website.
Add-ons
Readers can also provide “Verified” with information that potentially complements already published material, but does not change its perception and the verdict rendered. Readers may submit this information using the same methods described in the Correction section. This message will be sent to the author of the analysis and the editor who prepared the text for publication.
The author and editor decide to supplement the original text with new data, examples, arguments received from the reader, as well as the need to reflect this information in the “Addition” section at the end of the article, designed in the same way as the “Correction” section (see above).
Additions can be made not only after receiving messages from readers, but also on the initiative of the author and/or editor who discovered certain additional information after the publication of the material. Similar rules apply to such add-ons.
“Verified” also considers it necessary to convey up-to-date information to its readers. In some cases, after the publication of the material, new facts may become known that significantly change the content of the analysis. If this happens, the editors supplement the corresponding analysis by placing at the end of the text a “Addition” section, formatted similarly to that described above.
