Preparing the published article.
Corrections Policy in Practice
What happens after you report an error.
Process
| Step | Timing |
|---|---|
| Acknowledgement | 1 working day |
| Assessment against sources | 1–3 working days |
| Correction | 1–2 working days after assessment |
| Disputed figures | Both versions described in the article |
Principles
- Corrections that change meaning are labelled, not silent.
- Original source records are kept internally for audit.
- Where sources disagree credibly, the range is published.
- Articles are not deleted to remove an inconvenient fact.
