At InsidePost, we are committed to providing accurate, reliable, and high-quality information to our audience. However, we acknowledge that errors can occasionally occur. Our error handling procedure is designed to ensure transparency, promptness, and accountability in correcting inaccurate information.
Identification of Errors
Errors can be identified in several ways:
- Reader Reporting: Our readers can report errors via our contact form or by emailing our editorial team.
- Internal Reviews: Our editorial team regularly reviews our content to ensure accuracy.
- Source Feedback: We also receive feedback from the sources and subjects of our articles.
Retraction and Correction Procedure
Error Evaluation:
As soon as an error is reported, our editorial team assesses the nature and severity of the error. This evaluation determines whether a correction or retraction is necessary.
Correction:
- Minor: For minor errors (typos, factual mistakes without significant impact), we update the article as soon as possible and add a note at the bottom indicating that corrections have been made.
- Major: For significant errors that affect the understanding or integrity of the article, we correct the article and publish a clearly visible correction note at the beginning or end of the article, explaining the nature of the error and the changes made.
Retraction:
If an error is so severe that it compromises the entire article, we proceed with a retraction. The article is removed from the site, and a retraction notice is published in its place, explaining why the article was removed and apologizing to our readers for the error.
Notification and Transparency
We believe in being transparent with our audience. Every correction or retraction is accompanied by a clear notification on our site. Readers who subscribe to our newsletter or alerts also receive a notification of major corrections or retractions.
Follow-Up and Continuous Improvement
After each correction or retraction, we analyze the causes of the error to improve our editorial processes and prevent future errors. Our goal is to learn from each incident and strengthen our commitment to the accuracy and reliability of our content.
