# The pages behind how we work

> Where the method, the editorial standards, the corrections log and the evidence audit sit, and what each of them answers.

This part of the site describes the site itself rather than any treatment: where a statement comes from, who writes and who reviews it, what happens when something published turns out to be wrong, and what share of the material rests on a primary source. Each page listed below answers a question of that kind.

## What belongs in this section

A page belongs here when its subject is this site's own machinery: the route a claim travels before it is published, the standards that bind whoever writes it, the record of what has been corrected, and the audit of what our published claims rest on. Nothing in this section describes a procedure or a national rule. Those parts of the site are separate, and a page sits in this one or in one of those, never in both.

The list below is not maintained by hand. It is read back from what is published in this language, so a page appears on publication and drops out on withdrawal. Work still in preparation is absent from it, and that absence describes where we are in the work rather than what a subject is worth.
