About ReportingScience

 

ReportingScience is dedicated to bringing clarity and context to the complex world of scientific discovery. Our mission is to empower the public with independent, evidence-based coverage across the full spectrum of science, giving every reader the tools to critically evaluate new information and understand their world.

 

Our Legacy and Purpose

 

For over a generation, the journalists and editors at ReportingScience have chronicled the pivotal moments that define modern science—from the breakthroughs in materials science that launched the digital revolution, to the ethical debates surrounding personalized genomics, to the critical shifts in climate research.

We were established in 2004 by a coalition of veteran science writers and educators who recognized the need for a non-partisan platform committed to rigorous scientific reporting. Today, we remain a vibrant, independent nonprofit organization, steadfastly dedicated to that founding principle: elevating the standard and accuracy of science journalism for all.

We believe that an informed global community is the foundation of a prosperous future. We connect with our audience through our main portal, ReportingScience.com. 

 

Editorial Independence and Code of Ethics

 

In our pursuit of serving the public interest, we adhere to the highest professional standards of journalism. This ensures our coverage of technology, medicine, and pure research is always accurate and unbiased.

 

Integrity and Accuracy

 

Accuracy is our bedrock. We invest significant effort to ensure our work is factually correct, presented with appropriate context, and free of undue influence. We strive for transparency in all our reporting and interactions with both sources and the public.

  • We maintain strict impartiality in our reporting, providing a thorough and comprehensive view of the evidence, including any limitations or counter-evidence.

  • We operate ethically: we do not pay sources for interviews, and our reporters cover their own travel and expenses.

  • We rigorously credit all information not independently generated by our team. We never use composite characters, pseudonyms, or fictionalized details concerning names, ages, or locations.

  • In the rare instance where source anonymity is deemed necessary, we explicitly explain the justification, typically involving a significant risk to the individual’s safety or livelihood.

 

Corrections Policy

 

We strive for perfection, but in a fast-moving field, errors can occur. If we discover an error, or are alerted to one, we will promptly correct the mistake and append a clear, explanatory note to the digital story detailing the change made.

If you identify an error in any article, on our website, or in our print publication, please notify our editorial team immediately by emailing info@reportingscience.com.
