Editorial Policy

Our purposeIIR publishes news, analysis and practical resources for professionals across the global insect industry. We aim to make industry information clearer, more useful and easier to verify.

Source standardsWe prioritize primary and authoritative sources, including government publications, regulatory texts, company announcements, formal filings, research papers and recognized industry organizations. Secondary reporting may be used for context and is identified where relevant.

Facts, claims and analysisWe distinguish verified facts from company statements, third-party estimates and IIR analysis. Forecasts and inferences are presented as such and are not stated as established facts.

Review processContent may pass through research, drafting, industry review, fact-checking and publication review. The level of review depends on the subject and risk of the article. Regulatory and quantitative claims receive additional source scrutiny.

Use of artificial intelligenceIIR may use software and artificial intelligence to assist with research organization, transcription, translation, drafting support and editorial checks. AI output is not treated as a source. Material factual claims require review against identified sources before publication.

Editorial independenceEditorial decisions are made separately from commercial sales activity. Advertising, sponsorship and contributed content will be clearly identified. Commercial relationships do not guarantee favorable coverage.

Updates and correctionsArticles may be updated when new material information becomes available. Material corrections are handled under our Corrections Policy. Published and last updated dates are displayed where appropriate.
