Corrections Policy
How Science and Exploration receives, reviews and addresses credible correction requests.
Report a possible error
Use our contact page and include the article URL, the passage at issue, why it may be incorrect and any supporting source or document.
How requests are reviewed
We assess the challenged claim against the evidence available for the article and any relevant new evidence. A disagreement in interpretation is not automatically a factual error, but material context and uncertainty should be represented fairly.
What happens when a correction is warranted
We aim to correct material factual errors promptly and update affected metadata where necessary. The form and prominence of a correction depends on the significance of the error. Minor spelling or formatting changes may be fixed without a separate notice.
