This policy explains the standards we follow so that you know what to expect from every article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What we cover<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We publish explainers on current affairs, India, the economy, world affairs, and science, technology and society. We choose topics for their importance to understanding India and the world and for their relevance to competitive examinations, not for their ability to attract clicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our sources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We work from primary and official sources wherever possible: notices from exam-conducting bodies, releases from government ministries and departments, reports from regulators and constitutional bodies, and publications of international organisations. Where an article is based on an official notice or release, we link to it so that you can read the original.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accuracy and checking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dates, numbers, names and other facts are checked against the original source before publication.<\/li>\n\n<li>We separate facts from explanation. When we explain why something matters, we base that explanation on the record, not on speculation.<\/li>\n\n<li>We avoid unsupported claims, invented figures and sensational headlines.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How articles are prepared<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We use software tools, including AI writing tools, to help us monitor official sources and prepare drafts. Every article is checked against its source and reviewed by an editor before it is published. Nothing is published automatically, and responsibility for what we publish rests with NOVIQ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Independence and balance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NOVIQ is independent. We are not affiliated with any exam-conducting body, government department or political party. On questions where views differ, we aim to present the relevant facts and the main perspectives fairly, so that readers can reach their own conclusions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Writing for understanding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We write in clear, plain English. Each article aims to explain what happened, why it matters and how it connects to the bigger picture. Many articles also highlight dates and terms worth remembering and include practice questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Images<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We use images that we are permitted to use, such as openly licensed photographs, and credit their authors and licences where required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Updates and corrections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Official information changes: dates are revised, notices are amended and new data is released. When this affects an article, we update it. When we make a mistake, we correct it as described in our <a href=\"https:\/\/thenoviq.cloud\/blog\/corrections-policy\/\">corrections policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Questions about this policy can be sent to <a href=\"mailto:thenoviq.team@gmail.com\">thenoviq.team@gmail.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How NOVIQ chooses, researches, checks, writes and updates the articles we publish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1349","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thenoviq.cloud\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1349","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thenoviq.cloud\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thenoviq.cloud\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thenoviq.cloud\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thenoviq.cloud\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1349"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/thenoviq.cloud\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1349\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thenoviq.cloud\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1349"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
