Our commitment
We treat factual errors and material misinterpretations of regulatory text as serious. Every credible correction request is reviewed; corrections are made promptly, and the change is recorded on the article so readers can see what was updated and when.
How to report a correction
Send the following to our editor:
- The URL of the affected article.
- The specific sentence or claim you believe is incorrect.
- Your source, ideally a primary regulator publication, an Official Journal text, or a peer-reviewed paper. If your source is secondary commentary, please explain why it is authoritative.
You do not need a credential to file a correction. Anyone can, and should, point out a factual error.
How we handle corrections
We aim to acknowledge credible corrections within 48 hours on business days. The acknowledgement does not commit us to making the change immediately. First we verify the source against the regulatory text. When verification is complete, one of three things happens:
- Correction made. The article is updated. A timestamped correction note is added at the top of the article, briefly stating what changed.
- Clarification only. Where the original wording was technically correct but ambiguous or misleading, we revise for clarity and add a clarification note rather than a correction note.
- Declined with reasons. If we cannot verify the suggested correction against a primary source, or if the original article was correct, we reply with an explanation. Reasonable people can disagree on regulatory interpretation; we say so when that is the situation.
What a correction note looks like
Correction notes appear in a yellow editorial-note panel at the top of the affected article, before the body. They include:
- The date of the correction.
- One sentence summarising what was wrong.
- One sentence summarising what is now correct.
- Where appropriate, a credit to the reader who flagged the issue.
Corrections that materially change an article's recommendation are escalated: the affected article carries the correction note for the rest of its life, and we send a clarification message to anyone who emailed the editor about the original article in the previous 30 days.
