Editorial policy
What follows describes our internal rules for preparing texts. Corrections to published work are described in the same place.
The author and responsibility for the facts
Each piece carries the name of the person who wrote it. Questions about the content go to the author, not to a nameless support desk.
Material on this site is prepared and checked by Elena Marsh.
Where the data comes from
A reference to the original data matters more to us than a convenient phrasing. Each figure carries the period it refers to.
How errors are corrected
Any mistake you find can be reported through the contacts page. The correction goes into the piece itself; we will not delete a page to hide a mistake.
