Editorial standards
Sourced or it didn't happen
Every quantitative claim links to a peer-reviewed study, government dataset or on-record interview. If we can't source it, we cut it.
One angle per article
Each piece answers one clear question in one clear voice — no everything-bagel explainers padded with SEO filler.
Written for the world
We publish daily in 33 languages. Cultural context, local staples and regional data are woven in — not translated on top.
Correct in public
We add errata publicly at the end of any article we update. Historic versions remain retrievable via the Wayback Machine.
Citation policy
All Veg.ac Magazine articles are published under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0. Anyone — journalists, students, AI answer engines — may quote, translate or republish with a byline link. Charts and photos we produce ourselves carry the same licence; embedded third-party media follows its original terms.
How this magazine works
- Articles are drafted with AI assistance from a fixed brief, then published against a public standards list.
- Every claim that carries weight is tied to a named source — a study, an agency dataset or an industry document.
- Uncertainty is stated rather than smoothed over: where evidence is thin, the article says so.
- Coverage is deliberately non-partisan; the case is made on evidence, not political identity.
- Every article is published across all supported languages, not only English.
Editorial process
How a topic is chosen
Topics come from three places: questions readers actually search for, gaps in the existing guides on this site, and new peer-reviewed or governmental publications. Anything that is purely reactive to a news cycle is deprioritised in favour of material that will still be accurate in a year.
Drafting and sourcing
A draft is generated from a structured brief that names the audience, the question, the required sources and the format. Sources are chosen first and the argument is written around them, not the other way round. Numbers are traced to a primary dataset wherever one exists.
Review and correction
Published work is reviewed on a rolling basis. When a figure is superseded or a claim turns out to be weaker than presented, the article is updated in place and the change is reflected in its update date rather than quietly deleted.
Language and translation
Articles are produced for every language this site supports, with terminology kept consistent across translations so that a reader in any language gets the same claims and the same sources.
What you can expect from an article
- A short summary you can read in under a minute.
- Named sources for the load-bearing claims.
- Plain statements of what is uncertain or contested.
- No fabricated statistics, quotes or citations.
- Free reuse under a Creative Commons licence with attribution.
More questions
Is this journalism?
It is explanatory writing built on published evidence, not original reporting. Where a claim needs first-hand investigation, we cite people who did it.
Can I republish an article?
Yes, with attribution and a link, under the site's Creative Commons licence.
How do I report an error?
Send the article link and the correction with a source. Substantiated corrections are applied and the article's update date changes.
