Editorial Standards & Fact-Checking Protocols
World Bulletin uses automated checks against the source page linked to each story when that page is accessible. Automated checks can miss errors and do not constitute independent multi-source or human editorial verification.
1. Source Attribution
Published articles list the source references used by the pipeline. A listed source is not proof of independent corroboration; readers should consult the linked material for context.
2. 80% Minimum Confidence Threshold
Automatic publication requires a successful provider response, at least one supported claim, and a score of 80 or higher. Stories that fail or cannot be checked are not automatically published; no human-review workflow is currently guaranteed.
3. Corrections and Limitations
Automated generation and verification can make mistakes. We do not guarantee that all errors are detected; readers should check cited sources and contact the editorial team to report corrections.
4. Structured Data
Article pages emit NewsArticle metadata with the article's source references and an AI-assisted editorial-desk attribution. Structured data does not guarantee Google News inclusion or search visibility.
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.
