Editorial Standards & Fact-Checking Protocols
World Bulletin operates under a strict, multi-source verification protocol. Every story published across our desks is verified against peer-reviewed preprints, official lab announcements, and technical repositories before release.
1. Multi-Source Peer Verification
Every factual assertion must be confirmed by at least two independent primary sources (e.g., ArXiv preprints, MIT CSAIL, IEEE proceedings, or official corporate disclosures) prior to automated publication.
2. 80% Minimum Confidence Threshold
Articles scoring below an 80% confidence index during multi-agent claim evaluation are automatically diverted to our Admin Review Queue for manual editor inspection.
3. Zero Synthetic Hallucination Guarantee
We employ real-time claim cross-referencing to eliminate hallucinated benchmark scores, fictitious model names, or unverified claims in published articles.
4. Google News & Schema Compliance
All stories are formatted with structured JSON-LD NewsArticle metadata, HD featured images (1200px+), and real author attributions.
Editorial Independence & Correction Policy
Guidelines governing corrections, retractions, and update tracking
A. Transparency & Attribution
All articles clearly attribute claims to original research papers, code repositories, or press releases. Hyperlinks directly point to primary sources to allow readers to verify raw benchmarks independently.
B. Corrections & Timestamp Auditing
If a paper is revised or a lab updates benchmark metrics, our automated pipeline updates the article database record, updates the updatedAt timestamp, and logs the change in system audit files.
C. Copyright & Asset Integrity
Featured article images are sourced exclusively from licensed royalty-free photography providers (Unsplash/Pexels) or official open-access laboratory press kits.
