1. Core Editorial Philosophy

At Data Feed (datafeed.co.in), our fundamental directive is to strip away speculative hyperbole, clickbait, and partisan bias. We replace unverified opinions with empirical datasets, peer-reviewed benchmarks, official institutional disclosures, and statistical modeling.

Every analysis published under Technology, Economics & Finance, World News, Sports Analytics, Science & Health, and Politics & Policy must be anchored in verifiable primary quantitative evidence.

2. Primary Data Sourcing Guidelines

Our research analysts and technical writers strictly prioritize primary data repositories and peer-reviewed entities over secondary news aggregators. Authorized primary sources include:

  • International Financial Bodies: World Bank Open Data, International Monetary Fund (IMF), Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED), Bank for International Settlements (BIS), Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
  • Academic & Technical Repositories: arXiv, IEEE Xplore, ISO Standards, ACM Digital Library, PubMed Central, Nature Portfolio.
  • Official Telemetry & Government Publications: Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG), US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Eurostat, International Energy Agency (IEA).

3. Fact-Checking & Double-Pass Verification

Prior to publication, every draft undergoes a mandatory Double-Pass Verification Protocol:

  1. Pass 1 — Data Origin Check: Verification that all cited statistics, chart data points, and mathematical figures match the raw source documents without context distortion.
  2. Pass 2 — Baseline & Anomaly Inspection: Checking baseline assumptions to prevent statistical cherry-picking or false correlation claims.

4. Corrections & Accuracy Policy

Accuracy is essential to our reputation. When a factual or statistical error occurs, Data Feed issues an immediate, transparent correction:

  • Minor Typographical Fixes: Corrected immediately on the live server.
  • Data/Metric Revision: Appended with a clear [Correction Notice] detailing the timestamp, original figure, updated figure, and source documentation.

Readers and researchers can report data discrepancies directly to our editorial board at connect@datafeed.co.in.

5. Advertising, Commercial Independence & AdSense Compliance

Data Feed maintains absolute separation between editorial decisions and commercial advertising partnerships:

  • Third-Party Ad Networks: We partner with trusted advertising networks, including Google AdSense. Advertisements served on Data Feed are dynamically managed and do not influence our editorial ratings, article topics, or data findings.
  • Google DART Cookie & User Choice: As outlined in our Privacy Policy, Google uses cookies (such as the DART cookie) to serve ads based on user visits. Users can manage personalized ad preferences via Google Ads Settings.
  • Affiliate Transparency: When products, tools, or books are referenced with affiliate links, an explicit disclosure is provided. Editorial recommendations are never influenced by affiliate commission rates.
