Editorial Policy

Sources we use, what we refuse to publish, how corrections work and how independence is kept.

Principles

We separate description from persuasion. Explanation comes from a law, a regulation, an admissions page or an official call; opinion, when present, is labelled as such and kept short.

Sources

• Official pages of universities, conferences, federations and ministries.
• Published regulations and scholarship calls, including their dates.
• Public statistics, quoted with the year they refer to.

When only a secondary source exists, we say so in the text rather than presenting it as official.

What we do not publish

• Numbers we cannot trace to a public document.
• Guarantees of admission, funding, visas or professional contracts.
• Lists of "best" universities or agents without a stated criterion.
• Paid content presented as editorial.

Dating and updates

Requirements change between cycles. Guides refer to how a system is organised; where a specific cycle matters, the text says that dates and thresholds must be checked in the current call. We revise pages when a regulation changes, not on a fixed calendar.

Corrections

If something is wrong or outdated, write to the editorial team with the page, the sentence and the source that contradicts it. Corrections are applied in the text; when the change alters the meaning, a short note is added.

Independence

We are not affiliated with any university, club, federation, agency or funding body, and we do not accept payment for placement in editorial text.
