In health, an inaccuracy is not a typo — it can lead someone to make wrong decisions about their body. So we treat corrections with the same rigor we apply to publishing. When we discover an error, we fix it quickly and visibly.
Clarification: we precise context without changing meaning. Minor correction: we fix a secondary fact (date, attribution, translation) and leave a footer note. Major correction: if a health claim, dose, or conclusion is wrong, we correct it in the body, add a prominent correction notice at the top, and keep the historical version accessible.
Every correction request enters a queue reviewed within 72 hours. We verify against the primary source. If valid, we publish the correction and notify the reporter. When an original source publishes a retraction, we retract or update the derived article.
Email corrections@stackedhealths.com with the article URL, the exact passage, the source contradicting our version, and, if possible, the DOI or citation. We especially appreciate reports from clinical and scientific professionals.
When a study we covered is retracted by its journal, we mark the derived article as obsolete, add a visible notice, and link to the official retraction. We do not delete the piece — we preserve traceability.
