Editorial & Research Standards

Every article on Alearts is produced by a documented research pipeline. These are the standards it follows.

1. Multiple independent sources

Research collects material from at least two independent, usable sources before any writing begins. Higher-authority domains — encyclopedias, official documentation, academic publishers, major wire services — are prioritized. Sources with too little substantive content are discarded.

2. Fact extraction with citations

Facts are extracted individually, each tied to the source number that states it. A second verification pass checks every proposed fact against the actual source content: claims that were not supported are dropped, and citation numbers are corrected.

3. Conflict handling

When sources disagree on a number, date or characterization, the article either presents both positions with their citations or omits the claim entirely. Nothing is published that one source asserts and nothing confirms.

4. Original synthesis

Articles are written as original explanations of the verified facts. Sentences are not copied from sources. Uncertainty is stated explicitly rather than smoothed over.

5. Sufficiency gate

An article is only produced when verification yields enough substantive, cross-checkable material. Topics that fall short are retried later with fresh search angles; if they still fail, they are rejected rather than published thin.

6. Scheduled re-verification

Published articles are re-researched on a per-category schedule. Updates must be stronger than what exists: a rewrite that is shorter, thinner, or unsupported never replaces the current text. Every applied update is recorded with when and why it happened.

7. Duplicates are refused

Topics that would produce a page substantially similar to an existing one are detected and refused, so the knowledge base stays one article per topic.

8. Human oversight

The platform can run in manual-approval mode, where every article is reviewed by an editor before it becomes public. Corrections from readers are treated as review input and take precedence over automated updates.
