Editorial Policy

Last updated: April 14, 2026

Corrections

Every page carries a verifiable primary source. If you identify an error, write to [email protected] with the URL, the value you dispute, and the primary-source citation that supports your correction. We publish corrections within 72 hours and attach a visible revision note to the page.

Quality controls

Before a page goes live it passes three checks: (1) source attribution present and linking to the original institution; (2) temporal coverage disclosed; (3) at least one structured data block (chart or table) rendered from verified values. Pages that fail any check are not published.

Retractions

If an upstream institution retracts a dataset, we retract the corresponding page and leave a signed stub explaining the retraction.

Conflict of interest

The Journal accepts no sponsored content, no advertising, and no paid data publication. All editorial decisions are the sole responsibility of the editorial team.
