How to request a factual correction
Please include the article URL, the specific statement you believe is inaccurate, and reliable supporting information showing why it should be changed. Explaining how the source relates to the disputed wording is more useful than sending an unsupported conclusion.
- The URL of the article
- The exact statement you believe is inaccurate
- Reliable supporting information relevant to that statement
Helpful support may include a peer-reviewed study, official prescribing information, a regulatory document, a clinical-trial record, or another primary scientific or medical authority. Sources should address the particular claim at issue.
What counts as a correction?
A factual correction concerns information that is materially inaccurate, misleading, or no longer current—for example, an incorrect number, date, description of study findings, regulatory status, or explanation of a biological mechanism.
A difference in taste, writing style, emphasis, or editorial judgment is not automatically a factual error. Scientific evidence may also allow more than one reasonable interpretation, especially when the research is early or incomplete.
Material correction notes
When a material factual correction is made, the article should identify what changed and the relevant correction or update date. Minor edits that do not change the article’s meaning, such as spelling or formatting updates, may not require a correction note.
Account, order, product, or service requests are not editorial correction requests. Please use the applicable current customer route where relevant.
