Fact-Checking Policy

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Cross-Referencing
    We verify facts using multiple credible sources to ensure accuracy and consistency across reports.
  4. 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  • Historical references or timelines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  • We do not publish clickbait, pseudoscience, conspiracy theories, or unverified rumors.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.
