Editorial Policy

StudyPal's standards for producing, reviewing, updating and disclosing educational and editorial content.

Last updated: 3 August 2026

StudyPal publishes education information to help readers understand their options. Our goal is content that is useful, understandable, appropriately sourced and clear about its limitations.

Sources and review

Writers and editors should prefer primary sources such as institution and government websites, official programme materials, regulators, recognised research and direct institution communications. Important claims should be checked against the most current source reasonably available before publication.

Authorship and updates

Articles should identify an author or responsible editorial team and show a publication date. Material updates should change the displayed update date. Time-sensitive information such as fees, intakes and entry requirements must be reconfirmed with the institution before a student relies on it.

Independence and commercial disclosure

Paid, featured or sponsored placement should be labelled so users can distinguish commercial promotion from editorial assessment. Commercial relationships must not justify knowingly publishing inaccurate information.

Automation and AI-assisted work

If automation or AI-assisted tools are used during research, drafting, translation or production, the person publishing the content remains responsible for reviewing accuracy, relevance, attribution and potentially harmful claims. Automated output is not treated as an authoritative source.

Corrections

We welcome substantiated corrections and handle them under our Corrections Policy. Significant corrections should be reflected in the article and its update information rather than silently preserving a known material error.
