Review and editing
A person on our editorial team reviews every submission before publication. We may request changes or decline submissions that don't meet these guidelines. We may make minor spelling, grammar, formatting and readability edits; material edits that would change the meaning of customer-supplied content require the submitting customer's approval.
Corrections
Errors in published content are corrected as described in our Corrections and Editorial Independence Policy, with a dated correction note for material corrections.
