Editorial process

Our editorial process is designed to create high-quality, trustworthy and factually correct content. We split our process into 3 stages:

  • Research - Before we start writing, we do in-depth research and gather the facts and data. We don't just Google for information - we check books, scientific literature, studies and rely on our first-party knowledge and experiences, too.
  • Content production - We take the knowledge and transform it into easy to read and understand articles. We also include useful images, diagrams and videos to make our content accessible and inclusive.
  • Fact checking and review - Before we publish any new content, we have a rigorous process that checks our content for accuracy. We also list any references we have used at the bottom of our articles.

Transparency

Most of our guides and calculators have a section at the bottom called "About this page". In this section, you will find a changelog that lists all substantial updates and corrections to the page. We will also list the timestamps of each fact checking review.
