Corrections Policy

1. Introduction

This Corrections Policy explains how Advance.hr handles errors, inaccuracies, or other shortcomings in published content. Our goal is to maintain high professional standards, ensure the accuracy of information, and provide readers with transparent changes when necessary.

2. Principle of Accuracy and Responsibility

Every piece of content published on Advance.hr is based on verified information and an editorial process that includes analysis, fact-checking, and internal review. Nevertheless, unintentional errors, omissions, or outdated information may occur. In accordance with professional standards, we are obliged to correct every error as soon as it is identified.

3. Types of Errors

Errors can be divided into several categories:

• Factual errors – incorrect figures, dates, names, locations, or other verifiable information.
• Contextual errors – claims or interpretations presented without sufficient context, which may lead to misunderstanding.
• Technical errors – typos, incorrect links, wrong images, duplicated paragraphs, or issues caused during content upload.
• Information updates – situations in which facts change significantly after an article has been published, making it necessary to clearly indicate an update.

4. Procedure for Identifying an Error

When we receive a notice about a possible error, the editorial team carries out the following steps:

• reviewing the relevant parts of the article
• checking the claim against multiple independent and reliable sources
• consulting the author when necessary
• assessing the impact of the error on the understanding of the content

If the error is confirmed, the appropriate correction is made according to the category of the error.

5. Method of Correction

Corrections are made in a way that is clear, transparent, and proportionate to the seriousness of the error:

• Minor technical errors – corrected without a special note, such as typos or technical mistakes that do not change the meaning.
• Factual and substantive errors – corrected with a brief note at the bottom of the article or within the text, depending on the significance of the error.
• Significant changes or additions – clearly marked as article updates, with an explanation of what was changed and when.

All changes preserve the original meaning of the article while respecting professional standards and responsible interpretation.

6. Retrospective Corrections

If it is later determined that content has become outdated but is not incorrect, the article may be supplemented with new information or clearly marked as updated. In certain cases, we may add an editorial note to provide readers with more accurate context.

7. How Readers Can Report an Error

Readers can notify us of possible errors through official contact channels:

• by sending an email to [email protected]
• by using the contact form available on the portal

Users may include a link to the article, quote the disputed section, and, where possible, provide a source indicating the error. We review all reports within a reasonable timeframe.

8. Role of Authors and the Editorial Team

Authors and editors have a professional obligation to respond to reported errors, take part in verifying claims, and ensure that every correction is made accurately and responsibly. In the case of more serious errors, the editorial team may conduct an additional internal review.

9. Transparency Toward Readers

Our goal is for readers to clearly understand when and why an article has been changed. Transparency in corrections is an important part of the trust between the editorial team and the audience, and one of the key elements of professional journalism.

10. Changes to the Corrections Policy

This policy may be updated from time to time to reflect the development of professional standards, new editorial procedures, or regulatory requirements. The latest version will always be available on this page.
