This page describes the review a piece of content goes through between being written and being published.
Before Publishing
An author with stated expertise writes the piece. Depending on content type, it is then checked by a separate reviewer against that type’s baseline requirements: for research, that means a stated methodology, cited sources and a direct answer to the question the report addresses; other content types have their own equivalent bar.
After Publishing
Publishing is not the end of the process. Content is scheduled for re-review on a cycle set by its type. Research is revisited on a longer cycle than a fast-moving news update, reflecting how quickly each type of content tends to age. A re-review checks whether the piece still holds up: are the figures still representative, is the context still accurate, does the conclusion still stand.
Reviewer Attribution
Where a piece has been formally reviewed, that is recorded against it. This is not a rubber stamp. A reviewer is someone other than the author, checking the work independently.
