How we decide what to publish, who reviews it, and what we do when we are wrong. Read alongside our method, which describes the rules the publishing system enforces.
Independence
Research topics are chosen editorially. Where a paper touches an organisation we have a commercial relationship with, that relationship is disclosed on the paper.
Review
Every paper passes an editorial review round before publication, recorded against the version. The reviewers and the round are part of the version record.
Corrections
We correct in public, in a new version, with a record naming what changed. See the corrections register.
