These standards guide how Global Tech News selects and presents technology reporting.
Primary sources first
Articles start with research papers, technical reports, datasets, code repositories, system cards, engineering documents or official releases. The main primary source appears first in the Sources section. A preprint is identified as a preprint; publication does not imply peer review or independent replication.
Claims in context
A benchmark number needs its comparison, test conditions and scope. Simulations, laboratory tests and limited pilots are identified as such. Articles distinguish a source's claim from independently established facts and from the publication's interpretation.
Original value
An article should help readers understand a development beyond the announcement: what changed, how the system works, what the closest relevant comparison shows, and where the evidence stops. Articles that merely rephrase a press release or abstract do not meet this standard.
Clear technical reporting
Technical names are retained when they identify the work accurately, with a plain explanation on first use. Details belong in an article when they change the meaning or credibility of a result. Article length follows the explanation needed, not a word-count target.
Images and data graphics
Images must be original or have verified reuse rights. AI-generated editorial illustrations are not documentary evidence of an experiment or product. Data graphics use cited values and identify units, comparisons and sources. A relevant photograph or editorial illustration normally leads the article; charts are added when they help explain the evidence.
AI production and responsibility
AI is used for source discovery, drafting, some illustrations, checks and automatic publication. Automated articles use the Global Tech News byline and are not individually reviewed by a human before publication. Automated source and content checks can miss mistakes. Andrea Yu operates the publication, sets its editorial direction and is responsible for its correction process.
The publishing workflow requires primary-source links, duplicate and article-structure checks, image-rights checks and desktop and mobile page tests. These checks are not independent replication of a study. Readers can raise errors through the Contact page; material corrections follow our Corrections policy.
Reader interest and commercial interests
Reader interest helps guide future coverage, alongside technical significance, evidence quality and relevance. A popular article is not evidence that its claims are correct. Titles must reflect the findings and their limits. Advertising, sponsorship or affiliate relationships, if introduced, will be disclosed and kept separate from editorial conclusions.
