Policy
Corrections & Retractions
RSIA publishes methods, metrics, limitations, and corrections. This policy explains how we update the public record responsibly.
Why corrections matter
Grant-friendly work is evidence-aware and updateable.
RSIA publishes in phases and may update content as new evidence, partner feedback, or verified errors emerge. We treat corrections as a strength: an audit-ready institute should be able to improve the record without rewriting history.
What triggers a correction
- Verified factual errors (dates, definitions, measurement descriptions)
- Material omissions that change interpretation
- Method or calculation errors that affect reported results
- Clarifications requested by partners to avoid misinterpretation
How RSIA publishes updates
Versioning and change logs are used whenever practical.
- Minor edits: spelling/format changes that do not alter meaning may be made without a formal change log.
- Material changes: published with a visible "Updated" note and a short change summary.
- Retractions: rare; content may be withdrawn if fundamentally unreliable, with an explanation preserved.
RSIA aims to preserve public accountability: we avoid "silent rewrites" for material claims.
Report an issue
Readers and partners can request review of a potential error or misleading passage.
