Corrections

SYLO maintains a public corrections policy because mental- wellness content is YMYL (“Your Money or Your Life”) and small errors can carry outsized consequences. If you find something in a SYLO article that is wrong, out of date, or misleading, we want to fix it, and we want the history of the fix to be visible on the article so readers can see what changed and when.

What qualifies as a correction

Factual errors: a cited study was misinterpreted, a statistic was reported incorrectly, or a claim does not actually follow from the source the article attributes it to.
Broken citations: an inline source link returns a 404, has moved without a redirect, or no longer resolves to the paper we summarised.
Outdated research: a newer systematic review or meta-analysis materially changes the conclusion a SYLO article draws from older literature.
YMYL concerns: any passage that reads as prescriptive medical advice, makes an absolute efficacy claim, or could plausibly discourage a reader from seeking professional care.

How to report an error

Email editorial@sylodigital.com with the article URL, the specific passage in question, and (where possible) a reference to the source that supports the correction. A single email with enough context is all we need; you do not need to fill out a form.

How we respond

The editorial team reviews every correction report and acts on it directly. The workflow we follow:

Report received and acknowledged from editorial@sylodigital.com.
Editorial team verifies the issue against the cited source and any newer literature that applies.
If the report is valid, the article is corrected, the content hash changes, and dateModified bumps on the article’s schema metadata so search engines pick up the revision.
A short revision note is added to the article so readers can see what changed. Breaking changes to the article conclusion are flagged at the top of the page.

Response times

We prioritise corrections by severity. YMYL-severity issues (anything that could mislead a reader about clinical care, dosing, or crisis-situation behaviour) are handled within 48 hours. Other factual corrections are handled within 14 days. If your report sits in a grey area, flag the YMYL concern in the subject line and we will triage accordingly.
