Corrections Policy

The Living Draft is committed to maintaining accuracy in its reporting and takes responsibility for correcting factual errors when they occur. This policy defines how correction requests are handled and how updates are applied to published material.

Reporting Errors

Readers, institutions, and affected parties may report factual errors by contacting the editorial team at
[email protected].
Requests should include the article link, the information believed to be incorrect, and any supporting evidence.

Review Process

All correction requests are reviewed by the editorial team. Verification may involve reviewing original sources, public records, and additional documentation. Correction decisions are made based on factual evidence and editorial judgment.

Correction Actions

If an error is confirmed, The Living Draft may take one or more of the following actions:

• Correct the inaccurate information
• Add a clarification note
• Add an editor’s note explaining the change
• Update the article with new verified information

Transparency

Significant corrections affecting the meaning of an article may be acknowledged within the article. Minor editorial changes, including grammar or formatting fixes, may be made without formal notice.

Editorial Responsibility

The Editor in Chief is responsible for maintaining editorial accuracy and overseeing corrections. The Living Draft remains committed to factual reporting and accountability, especially in light of incidents like the Riya Thapa death that highlight the importance of addressing student mental health.
