When we’re wrong, we say so.
We make mistakes. When we do, we correct them quickly, transparently, and on the same page where the original error appeared. This page explains how we handle corrections and how to flag one.
How to request a correction.
Email microblife.in@gmail.com with the article URL and a short description of what needs correcting. The more specific you can be (the exact passage, the source for the correct version) the faster we can act.
If your concern relates to an older article, include any archived source or historical context you have. We assess inherited articles under the same accuracy and attribution standards while preserving their original publication record.
We review corrections requests against the underlying research before changing the article. Material errors and substantial revisions are corrected with a dated note on the article explaining what changed. Minor fixes that do not change what readers were told may be made without a note.
What counts as a correction.
We correct all factual errors, whether the mistake is ours or arose from the way a finding was described to us. Material errors and substantial revisions carry a dated note explaining what changed.
Minor factual imprecision, spelling, formatting, broken links, replacement of a source link where the underlying claim is unchanged, and clarifications that do not substantially change what readers were told may be corrected silently.
Where an article’s central premise cannot stand, for example when the research it rests on does not support it, we withdraw the piece and, where appropriate, leave a notice at the original address.
Updates vs. corrections.
Sometimes the world changes after we publish: a study is retracted, a figure is revised, a claim is updated.
We update articles to reflect the new state of facts, and indicate the date of the most recent update. Updates that materially change the original article’s conclusion are treated as corrections.
When we won’t correct.
We don’t remove articles for editorial reasons unless they contain a serious factual error we can’t fix in place. We don’t adjust pieces to reflect later reader disagreement with a position, only to fix verifiable factual errors.
