Fact-Check Policy

At mscoeasf.com, operated by MUDUGANTI SURYAMMA COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of accuracy, transparency, and credibility in all the content we publish. In an era where misinformation can spread rapidly—particularly in finance and education—it is our responsibility to provide content that is verified, factual, and grounded in legitimate sources.

Our Fact-Check Policy is designed to ensure that all data, statistics, financial claims, educational information, and public-facing articles are reviewed, validated, and cross-referenced before publication. This policy guides our editorial team, contributors, and partners in their effort to maintain truthful and unbiased content.

Our Core Fact-Checking Principles

We follow five primary principles to uphold integrity in our published content:

  1. Accuracy First
    Every fact, figure, date, and financial detail is checked for correctness before publication.
  2. Source Verification
    We rely on reputable sources such as government databases, official reports, academic institutions, and credible news organizations.
  3. Transparency
    If content is based on expert opinions, assumptions, or evolving information, we clearly label it as such.
  4. Timeliness
    Our team revisits and revises older posts to ensure continued relevance and factual accuracy as new developments emerge.
  5. Accountability
    Errors are acknowledged, corrected, and documented publicly in a timely manner.

What We Fact-Check

We apply fact-checking practices to the following types of content on mscoeasf.com:

  • Articles on finance, banking, tax-saving strategies, investment, and personal money management.
  • Government scheme breakdowns (such as scholarships, subsidies, financial literacy programs).
  • Educational materials such as academic insights, NCTE-related updates, and college announcements.
  • Blog posts related to academic finance, policy interpretation, and regulatory framework.
  • Quotes, claims, figures, and data sets sourced from third-party platforms.
  • External news stories embedded or cited within our site content.

We do not conduct fact-checking for user-generated content such as comments, guest posts (unless published under our editorial guidelines), or shared social media opinions unless explicitly featured on the site.

Our Fact-Checking Process

Our editorial process is composed of multiple stages of verification:

1. Initial Research and Drafting

Writers and researchers must base all content on credible, traceable, and publicly available data. Internal and external references are required to support all financial claims or educational statements.

2. Internal Review

The editorial team reviews the draft to:

  • Verify all numbers and statistics.
  • Validate source links.
  • Compare content with existing regulatory norms and policy documents.

3. Source Evaluation

We cross-reference against:

  • Government portals (e.g., Ministry of Education, NCTE, UGC, RBI)
  • Academic journals and institutional reports.
  • Recognized financial publications and databases (e.g., SEBI, Income Tax Department, NSDL, etc.)

4. Plagiarism and Duplication Check

All content is passed through anti-plagiarism software to ensure originality.

5. Pre-Publish Validation

Before the article is made live, it undergoes one final check by the Editor-in-Chief or Managing Content Head. If any ambiguity remains, the content is put on hold until further verification is completed.

Types of Sources We Use

We prioritize the use of primary and verifiable sources, including but not limited to:

  • Government documents and official portals.
  • White papers, policy frameworks, and gazettes.
  • Peer-reviewed journals and research studies.
  • Academic and institutional publications (including university releases).
  • Statements from recognized financial experts or authorities.
  • News reports from reputed and accredited media houses.

Secondary sources are only used when primary data is inaccessible or when supporting context is required.

How We Handle Errors and Corrections

Despite our rigorous processes, occasional errors may occur. In such cases:

  • We immediately investigate any factual inaccuracies brought to our attention by readers or discovered internally.
  • If a correction is warranted, it will be:
    • Updated on the original page with a correction notice.
    • Timestamped to reflect the last updated date.
  • In the case of critical errors affecting financial understanding or public trust, a public clarification notice will be posted.

We also welcome feedback and verification requests. You can report any factual concerns to us via email at mscoeasf000@gmail.com.

Editorial Independence

Our fact-checking is conducted independently of any sponsored content or advertisements on the website. We ensure a clear separation between editorial and promotional content.

Any content that involves a conflict of interest—be it from financial partners, sponsors, or internal stakeholders—goes through an additional layer of scrutiny. Sponsored or affiliate-based articles are clearly marked to maintain full transparency.

Tools and Technologies Used

To support our fact-checking efforts, we use the following digital tools:

  • Grammarly and Turnitin – For content grammar and originality checks.
  • Google Fact Check Tools – To cross-verify claims found on the internet.
  • Government Open Data APIs – For retrieving real-time financial and education datasets.
  • Citation tools – To generate standardized references.
  • Archival tools – To track older versions of web pages or documents (e.g., Wayback Machine).

Updates and Revisions

Fact-checking is not a one-time process. All major content, especially policy-related pages, is revisited quarterly or as soon as new developments occur. Users may find a “Last Updated” label at the bottom of our long-form articles to confirm their relevancy.

User Responsibility

While we make every effort to provide thoroughly verified content, users are advised to:

  • Double-check critical information through official channels.
  • Avoid making high-risk financial decisions solely based on online sources.
  • Reach out to licensed professionals where required.
