Our Sources
When our articles are technical or scientific in nature, we ensure that our primary sources are reliable and authoritative. We cross-check information against journals, professional reference texts, manuals, and original documentation wherever possible. Internet sources are generally not considered primary unless they fit into one of these categories. Personal knowledge is always confirmed against primary sources before publishing. When opinions are offered, they are often presented against a backdrop of other opinions on the subject that can be found on the internet, providing a balanced and comprehensive view.
Fact-Checking
Accuracy is one of our top priorities. Before we publish any article, it goes through a rigorous fact-checking process. Galen Rutledge, who is responsible for fact-checking, verifies the information against available primary sources to ensure its accuracy and reliability.
Conflict of Interest Disclosures
Our readers’ trust is important to us. If we have contractual, financial, personal, or other interests that may affect our objectivity in any topic we cover, we will disclose it within the article. We are committed to unbiased and fair reporting.
