Corrections Policy

Factual and citation errors

If we get a fact wrong, mischaracterize a source, or link to the wrong reference, we aim to correct it promptly once it’s identified.

Substantive corrections

Substantive corrections — anything that changes the meaning of a claim, a citation, or a piece of guidance — are made directly to the article itself. Where a correction is material enough that a returning reader should know the content changed, we may add a brief editorial note to the article indicating what was updated and when.

Minor edits

Typo fixes, formatting adjustments, and other style-level changes that don’t affect meaning are made without a separate correction notice.

When evidence changes

Clinical guidance is periodically updated as new research becomes available. When guidance an article relies on changes, we aim to update the article to reflect it rather than leaving outdated guidance in place indefinitely.

Reporting a suspected error

If you believe something on this site is factually incorrect, miscites a source, or misrepresents what a source actually says, please let us know through the Contact page. Include the article and, if possible, the specific claim or citation in question — it helps us verify and correct it faster.

We don’t currently maintain a public corrections log or changelog for individual articles.
