The Indic Journal is committed to accuracy. We do our best to verify facts before we publish, but mistakes can still happen, whether it is a factual error, a misquote, an outdated figure or a misspelled name. When we get something wrong, we correct it openly rather than quietly changing the text and hoping nobody notices.
How we handle corrections
When an error is identified in a published article, we update the article as soon as possible and add a clear note at the bottom of the piece stating what was changed and when. We do not delete or hide the fact that a correction was made. Readers should always be able to see that a story has been corrected and understand what the original error was.
There is a difference between a correction and an update. A correction fixes something that was factually wrong at the time of publication. An update adds new information that has come in after the story was first published, such as a developing news event. We label both differently so readers are not confused about which is which.
For minor issues, such as a typo, a broken link or a small formatting mistake that does not affect the meaning or accuracy of the story, we may fix it without adding a formal correction note, since it does not change the substance of what was reported.
For factual errors that affect the meaning of a story, including incorrect numbers, misattributed quotes, wrong names, titles or dates, or any claim that turns out to be inaccurate, we add a visible correction note directly on the article.
How to report an error
If you believe we have published something inaccurate, please tell us. The fastest way is through our Contact Us page. Please include a link to the article in question and a clear description of what you believe is wrong, along with a source or reference if you have one. We review every correction request and respond to credible ones as quickly as we can.
Why this matters to us
A news publication’s credibility rests on how it handles its mistakes, not on pretending it never makes any. We would rather be transparent about an error and fix it properly than protect our own reputation by staying quiet about it.
