Accuracy · accountability · transparency
Ewing Journal corrects material factual errors, distinguishes corrections from clarifications and updates, and tells readers when substantive published information changes.
Effective September 13, 2026
This policy applies to Ewing Journal articles, briefs, data visualizations, captions, transcripts and original hosted media.
01
The Journal reviews a report against available primary records, reporting notes, calculations and source material. A request for a change does not itself establish that published information is wrong. Editorial conclusions are not changed merely because a person or institution disagrees with accurate reporting.
02
When a material factual error is confirmed, Ewing Journal corrects it promptly. The article receives a dated correction note that identifies the substance of the error and explains what changed. A correction does not erase accurate surrounding reporting.
03
A clarification improves precision or prevents a reasonable misunderstanding without correcting a factual error. An update adds material new information after publication. When either materially changes a reader's understanding, it is labeled and dated.
04
Spelling, punctuation, formatting and broken-link repairs that do not alter meaning may be made without a correction note. Substantive changes are documented, and publication records are preserved so the basis for an editorial change can be reviewed.
05
If a reader believes a submitted concern was misunderstood, the reader may reply with additional records and request a second review. Ewing Journal will reconsider the evidence and explain whether the published record changes. Accessibility accommodations for submitting a report may be requested by email.
