Editorial Policy and Corrections
This policy describes The Israeli Journal's working practices when preparing articles and how we handle feedback and errors.
Working with sources
Each article draws on sources directly related to its subject: official announcements, publications by research institutions, public data and media reports. When information comes from an interested party, such as a company announcing a product, we present it as that party's statement rather than an independently verified fact.
Fact, claim and interpretation
We take care to make clear what is known with certainty, what is claimed and by whom, and what is interpretation. In articles about medical and scientific research, we indicate whether a finding is preliminary, comes from a laboratory experiment or concerns a treatment already in use.
Updates and corrections
When a detail in an article proves to be wrong, we correct it. A correction that changes the article's meaning is noted in the article itself so readers know what changed. Minor wording or typing changes are not marked separately.
To request a correction, contact us through the Contact page and include the article link, the detail you believe is incorrect and, if possible, a source supporting your position.
Illustrations and images
Most images on the site are illustrations intended to convey the subject, rather than documentation of an actual event. An illustration will not be presented as though it were a photograph of a particular person, place or event.
Sponsored content and partnerships
Content published for payment or as part of a commercial relationship will be clearly labeled as sponsored content. A commercial relationship does not change the requirement to present accurate information.
Right of reply
A person or organization mentioned in an article who wishes to respond or comment on how they were presented is welcome to contact us. Each such inquiry will be considered on its merits.
