At Anemoia, accuracy is our foundation. Because we write about history, psychology, cinema, and vintage culture, our readers rely on us for verified facts and clear contexts. This Fact-Checking Policy explains the standards we follow to ensure our content is reliable.
1. Verification Process
Our editorial process involves checking every assertion of fact before publication. This includes:
- Verifying historical dates, names, events, and locations against multiple academic databases and historical records.
- Cross-referencing psychological studies and theories with peer-reviewed scientific journals (e.g., PubMed, APA databases).
- Confirming technical details about vintage photography, classic vinyl, and retro hardware against manufacturing catalogs or expert documentation.
2. Reliable Sourcing
We prioritize authoritative primary sources. When we reference a psychological study, we link directly to the study or the journal database. When discussing vintage film formats, we reference the official specifications of companies like Kodak, Fujifilm, or Polaroid. We avoid relying on unverified rumors or single-source third-party blog posts.
3. Fact-Checker Responsibility
All articles undergo editor review. Editors check links, question assumptions, and verify statistics. If a source is questionable or cannot be cross-verified, it is either replaced or removed from the article.
4. How to Request a Fact Check
If you believe we have published an incorrect date, historical fact, or scientific citation, please contact us with the specific details and any supporting references. We will review the claim immediately and make corrections if necessary.
