Guidelines & Standards
Editorial Policy
How we ensure accuracy, fairness, and quality in all Smart Curiosity content.
What We Publish
Smart Curiosity focuses on educational content covering history, science, mythology, and general knowledge. We aim to inform, entertain, and inspire curiosity. All published content goes through a structured editorial process to ensure it meets our quality standards.
We do not publish:
- Content that promotes hate speech, discrimination, or violence.
- Unverified conspiracy theories presented as factual history.
- Medical or financial advice (Smart Curiosity is not a YMYL - Your Money or Your Life platform).
- Plagiarized material.
Fact-Checking and Verification
Accuracy is our highest priority. The Smart Curiosity Editorial Team verifies facts using credible sources such as:
- Peer-reviewed academic journals and scientific publications.
- Historical archives, museum records, and primary documents.
- Reputable educational institutions and recognized experts in the field.
Where historical records are ambiguous or scientific consensus is still forming, we strive to present the leading theories objectively and note the uncertainty.
Corrections and Updates
No process is perfect, and new discoveries can change our understanding of the past and the universe. When errors occur or new information emerges, we are committed to correcting and updating our content.
- Minor Updates: Typographical errors, formatting fixes, or minor factual adjustments are made directly without an explicit editor's note.
- Major Corrections: If an article contained a significant factual error that changes the narrative or conclusion, we will correct the text and update the "Last Updated" timestamp on the article.
Reporting Inaccuracies
We welcome feedback from our readers. If you spot a factual error, a broken link, or have a suggestion to improve an article, please reach out to us.
You can report issues by contacting us through our Contact Form. Please include the URL of the article and a brief explanation of the issue (with a reliable source, if possible). Our editorial team will review your submission and make necessary corrections promptly.
