Fact-Checking Policy

Last Updated: June 1, 2025

At NewMech.org, accuracy is at the heart of our mission. We are committed to publishing content that is evidence-based, verifiable, and rooted in credible scientific and engineering research. Our Fact-Checking Policy outlines the steps we take to ensure that all information we publish is reliable, current, and trustworthy.


1. Why Fact-Checking Matters

We serve a global audience of students, researchers, engineers, and science enthusiasts. Inaccurate or misleading information can lead to confusion, misinterpretation of research, or even misuse of technical knowledge. Our rigorous fact-checking process helps ensure that our content supports responsible learning and informed decision-making.


2. Our Fact-Checking Process

Every article published on NewMech.org undergoes multiple layers of editorial scrutiny:

a) Source Verification

We verify every data point, quote, and claim using reputable sources, including:

  • Peer-reviewed academic journals
  • University research and press releases (e.g., MIT, Stanford, NASA, etc.)
  • Government and regulatory agencies (e.g., NIST, NSF, ISRO)
  • Industry standards bodies and technical papers
  • Interviews or statements from subject matter experts

b) Cross-Referencing

We cross-reference key facts across multiple sources to ensure consistency and eliminate bias or errors.

c) Expert Review

For complex or highly technical content, we may consult external reviewers or collaborate with engineers, researchers, or academic professionals to validate content.

d) Attribution

We clearly cite sources in our articles through in-text references or hyperlinks, allowing readers to verify the information themselves.


3. Handling Uncertain or Emerging Information

In cases where information is still developing (e.g., new research, early-stage findings, or prototype technologies):

  • We clearly label the content as preliminary or speculative.
  • We avoid overstating claims or drawing unsupported conclusions.
  • We update articles as more accurate or confirmed data becomes available.

4. AI-Assisted Content and Human Oversight

We may use AI tools to assist with content drafting, summarization, or language refinement. However:

  • All final content is reviewed by a human editor.
  • All facts are independently verified by our editorial team before publication.
  • We do not rely solely on AI-generated information without verification.

5. Reader Feedback and Corrections

We value our readers’ input in keeping our content accurate. If you spot any factual error or misinterpretation in our content, please notify us at:

πŸ“§ cm.discoverseo@gmail.com

We will investigate all reports within 3–5 business days and issue corrections in accordance with our Corrections Policy.


6. Continuous Improvement

Our editorial team undergoes periodic training in fact-checking standards and ethical journalism practices. We regularly review our fact-checking procedures to adapt to evolving information sources, technologies, and scientific standards.


7. Our Promise

We commit to:

βœ… Publishing content that is accurate, current, and clearly sourced
βœ… Regularly reviewing older articles for relevance and correctness
βœ… Making corrections transparently and promptly when errors are found
βœ… Upholding the credibility of scientific communication for the benefit of our readers


NewMech.org exists to inform, not mislead. Fact-checking is more than a policy β€” it’s a promise.
