1. Commitment to Accuracy
Every piece of content—articles, data visualizations, or maps—is reviewed for factual accuracy before publication.
However, because science and environmental data evolve, errors or outdated information can occasionally appear.
When this happens, we take immediate steps to investigate and correct the issue.
2. How We Identify Errors
Errors can be discovered by our editorial team, subject-matter experts, or readers.
We welcome feedback from anyone who notices inaccuracies, missing context, or ambiguous phrasing.
Readers can report concerns by emailing support@desertsoftheworld.com
with the URL, the correction requested, and a reliable source for verification.
3. Types of Corrections
- Minor Corrections: Small updates such as spelling, grammar, or formatting adjustments are made silently without an editor’s note.
- Substantive Corrections: Updates involving factual data, misattribution, or misrepresentation are documented in an editor’s note added to the article.
- Full Retractions or Revisions: If a story contains major inaccuracies or is no longer reliable, it may be retracted or replaced with a revised version.
A clear explanation of the change remains accessible for transparency.
4. How Corrections Are Displayed
Each corrected article includes an Editor’s Note or Update timestamp at the top or bottom of the page.
Notes specify what was changed and when. This ensures readers can distinguish between original and updated information.
5. Reader Communication
We aim to acknowledge correction requests within five business days.
Verified issues are corrected as quickly as possible.
We may contact readers who submit detailed feedback to confirm resolution or request additional details.
6. Archiving & Transparency
Historical versions of key pages may be archived internally to maintain an audit trail of significant changes.
Our goal is not only to correct mistakes, but also to learn from them and prevent repetition.
