Corrections Policy

Our commitmentIIR aims to publish accurate and clearly sourced information. When a material factual error is confirmed, we correct it as promptly and transparently as practical.

How to report an issueUse the Contact page and select “Correction.” Include the article URL, the statement in question, an explanation of the issue and any supporting primary source.

How we review correctionsWe review the published wording, underlying sources and any new evidence. A request does not automatically result in a change; corrections are based on verifiable information.

Types of changesMinor spelling, grammar or formatting changes may be made without a correction note. Material factual corrections or clarifications may include a visible editor’s note and an updated date.

Updates are not always correctionsAn article may be updated when new information becomes available even if the original reporting was accurate at the time of publication.

Correction notice templateCorrection: An earlier version of this article [describe the inaccurate or incomplete statement]. The article has been updated to [describe the correction].
