Editorial standards

Independence

Perspectives is editorial analysis, separate from ICHI’s measurements. No article changes the VECTORS score, an incident’s evidence classification, source independence or any intelligence ranking.

Labelled statements

Passages are marked as Fact, Analysis, Opinion or Unverified claim. An actor’s claim is never presented as a confirmed incident.

Guest contributors

Guest contributors have no access to ICHI’s systems. An ICHI editor publishes their approved text; a guest article cannot be published until an ICHI editor is named as its reviewer and the author’s disclosure of relevant interests (“None” included) is stated on the article.

There is no open submission system. To propose a contribution, describe it through the feedback form.

Corrections

Corrections are dated and listed on the article, newest first. A withdrawn article is retracted, not silently removed from history.

Reader comments

Comments are open only on articles where they have been enabled, and every comment is reviewed by a moderator before it appears.
