Corrections policy
We publish data, and data sometimes changes or arrives with errors. This page explains what we do when that happens: how we correct it, how we flag it, and how you can tell us if you spot something that does not add up.

Scope
What counts as a correction
We treat as a correction any change that alters the answer an article gives the reader: an incorrect figure, a number that has gone out of date, a public grant whose conditions have changed, a new section whose information changes the conclusion.
Editorial touch-ups, a typo, a better-built sentence, an added link, do not fall into this category: we simply apply them, because they do not change what the article is telling you.
What changes the answer
If a change affects the conclusion a reader takes away, we treat it as a correction and leave it in plain sight.
Transparency
How we flag changes
When an article that is already published receives a correction or a substantial update, the reader has to be able to see it.
A visible update note
We state it in the article itself, with the date of the change and a description of what was modified, written for the reader. That last-modified date appears next to the article, in Google results too.
No silent corrections
We do not make silent corrections to content that feeds into decisions. If an article's answer changes, a reader coming back has to be able to see that it changed and why.
Article updates
A signal that means something
We keep the update marker for changes of substance, so you know when an article is worth rereading.
Criteria
What we do not mark as an update
For update notes to mean anything, we do not use them for minor changes. An article marked as updated is an article whose substance has changed.
If we flagged every styling tweak, the signal would lose its value and you would not know when an article is worth rereading.
Tell us
If you spot an error
Write to us naming the article and the figure you believe is wrong. We check it against the sources and, if you are right, we correct it and add the corresponding note. You do not have to prove anything: pointing out the doubt is enough, verifying is our job.
