At STC-MDITR News, we are committed to delivering accurate, trustworthy, and evidence-based reporting on science, technology, and innovation. Our fact-checking policy ensures that all published content meets high editorial and ethical standards.
Our Fact-Checking Process
Before any article is published, it goes through the following steps:
- Primary Source Verification
We prioritize original sources of information — peer-reviewed journals, government research agencies (e.g., NSF, NASA, WHO), university press releases, and credible institutions — to ground our reporting in facts, not speculation. - Expert Input
When covering technical or emerging topics, our writers consult with subject-matter experts (scientists, engineers, technologists, or professors) to clarify and validate details. - Cross-Referencing
We verify facts using multiple credible sources to ensure accuracy and consistency across reports. - Real-World Context
Scientific data is often complex. We strive to explain it in accessible language without exaggerating, sensationalizing, or misrepresenting the implications.
What We Check
We fact-check:
- Scientific claims and research findings
- Technological product specifications or announcements
- Statistical data or figures
- Quotes from researchers, officials, or industry leaders
- Historical references or timelines
- Health and environmental claims
What We Don’t Publish
- We do not publish clickbait, pseudoscience, conspiracy theories, or unverified rumors.
- We do not promote technologies or therapies that lack a scientific basis or regulatory approval.
Corrections and Updates
Despite our best efforts, errors can occur. When they do:
- Minor factual errors will be corrected promptly in the article with an editor’s note.
- Substantive corrections will be logged and timestamped at the end of the article.
Transparency and Accountability
We are transparent about:
- Our sources (always cited or linked)
- Potential conflicts of interest
- Author credentials and affiliations
We believe credibility is earned through honesty — and we welcome constructive dialogue from our readers and the scientific community.
Why This Matters
As a platform rooted in the legacy of advanced research, we believe science deserves precision. Our readers — from students to scientists — trust us to inform, not mislead. Fact-checking is not a formality; it’s our responsibility.
