International Quantum News (IQN) is committed to accurate, fair, and clearly sourced reporting on quantum computing and related fields. This page explains the standards our reporting follows and how we handle mistakes.
Accuracy & Sourcing
Every article is checked against primary sources wherever possible — peer-reviewed papers, official company or institutional statements, patent filings, or on-record interviews. Where a claim cannot be independently verified, we say so explicitly in the article rather than presenting it as confirmed fact.
Attribution
We name our sources whenever we are able to. Anonymous sourcing is used sparingly and only when a source’s safety, employment, or legal standing would be put at risk by attribution, and only when the underlying information is independently corroborated.
Corrections Policy
When we get something wrong, we correct it. Factual errors are corrected as soon as they are identified and verified. Substantive corrections are noted at the bottom of the affected article along with the date of the correction. Minor corrections (spelling, grammar, formatting) are made without a formal notice.
If you believe an IQN article contains an error, please contact us with the article URL and a description of the issue, and our editorial team will review it promptly.
Conflicts of Interest
IQN discloses any material financial or organizational relationship between its publisher (CETQAP/CETQAC) and a company or institution that is the subject of a report, where such a relationship could reasonably be seen to affect our coverage.
Independence
Editorial decisions at IQN are made independently of advertising relationships. Sponsored or promotional content, if published, is always clearly labeled as such and is never presented as independent news reporting.
