Editorial policy

The principles that will guide our software research and publishing decisions.

Independent research

Software will be researched independently. We will distinguish verified facts, hands-on observations and editorial judgement.

Commercial relationships

Affiliate relationships will not determine editorial conclusions. Sponsored placements must be visibly disclosed and kept separate from independent editorial work.

Review and corrections

Information will be reviewed periodically as products change. Readers and software makers can submit corrections for consideration.

Testing claims

We will only say a product was tested when meaningful testing actually took place, and will explain the scope when relevant.
