📝 Editorial & Corrections Policy
Our commitment to accuracy, transparency, and continuous improvement
✅ Accuracy Is Our Priority
OmniCalculator.Space is committed to providing accurate, reliable, and well-researched calculator tools and guides. This policy explains our editorial standards, how we verify formulas and sources, and our process for correcting errors.
1. Our Editorial Standards
Every calculator and guide on OmniCalculator.Space is created following these principles:
1.1 Accuracy
- All formulas are verified against authoritative sources
- Calculations are tested for mathematical correctness
- Results are validated against known examples
- Edge cases are identified and handled appropriately
1.2 Transparency
- We clearly explain the formulas and methodologies used
- Sources are cited where applicable
- Limitations and assumptions are disclosed
- We distinguish between estimates and exact calculations
1.3 Objectivity
- Content is presented without bias
- We don't favor particular products or services in our calculations
- Sponsored content is clearly labeled
- Editorial decisions are not influenced by advertisers
2. Formula Verification Process
Our calculators use formulas that undergo rigorous verification:
Research & Source Identification
We identify authoritative sources for each formula, prioritizing official government publications, academic textbooks, and peer-reviewed research.
Formula Implementation
Formulas are implemented in code with clear documentation of the mathematical logic and any assumptions made.
Testing & Validation
Calculators are tested with known inputs and expected outputs. Edge cases, boundary values, and error conditions are checked.
Cross-Reference Check
Results are compared against other reputable calculators and official sources to verify accuracy.
Publication & Monitoring
After publication, we monitor for user feedback and periodically review formulas for continued accuracy.
3. Authoritative Sources We Use
We prioritize the following types of sources when verifying formulas and information:
⚠️ Sources We Avoid
- Unverified user-generated content
- Anonymous sources without citations
- Outdated publications without current verification
- Commercial sources with potential bias
4. Types of Corrections
When errors are identified, we categorize and address them accordingly:
5. Correction Process
Error Identification
Errors are identified through user reports, internal audits, or changes in source data (e.g., annual tax rate updates).
Verification
We verify the reported error by checking against authoritative sources and testing the calculation.
Correction Implementation
The error is corrected in the calculator code and/or content. All related pages are updated.
Documentation
The correction is documented with the date and nature of the change. Major corrections include a visible notice.
Reporter Acknowledgment
If the error was reported by a user, we thank them and confirm the correction has been made.
6. How to Report an Error
We welcome and appreciate error reports from our users. If you believe you've found an error:
📧 Report an Error
info@omnicalculator.space
Subject: "Error Report - [Calculator Name]"
6.1 What to Include
- Page URL: The exact page where you found the error
- Description: What appears to be incorrect
- Expected result: What the correct result should be (if known)
- Source: Reference to an authoritative source confirming the error (helpful but not required)
- Inputs used: The values you entered (for calculation errors)
✅ Response Time
We aim to acknowledge error reports within 2 business days. Critical errors affecting calculator accuracy are prioritized and typically fixed within 24-48 hours.
7. Periodic Reviews
Beyond responding to user reports, we conduct regular reviews:
7.1 Annual Updates
- Tax calculators updated when new rates are published
- Financial calculators reviewed for current regulations
- Health calculators checked against current guidelines
7.2 Triggered Reviews
- When authoritative sources publish updates
- When laws or regulations change
- When we receive multiple reports about the same issue
7.3 Random Audits
- Periodic spot-checks of calculator accuracy
- Content freshness reviews
- Source validity verification
8. Formula Documentation
📐 Our Formula Standards
Each calculator includes documentation of:
- The mathematical formula(s) used
- Variables and their definitions
- Assumptions and limitations
- Source references where applicable
- Worked examples demonstrating correct usage
8.1 Example: How We Document Formulas
Compound Interest Formula
A = P(1 + r/n)nt
Where:
• A = Final amount
• P = Principal (initial investment)
• r = Annual interest rate (decimal)
• n = Compounding frequency per year
• t = Time in years
Source: Standard financial mathematics, verified against SEC investor education materials.
9. Independence & Conflicts of Interest
Our editorial content is independent from commercial interests:
- Advertisers do not influence calculator formulas or results
- Affiliate relationships are disclosed but do not affect accuracy
- Sponsored content is clearly labeled and does not affect editorial content
- We do not accept payment for favorable calculator results
10. Continuous Improvement
We are committed to continuously improving our content:
- We monitor industry developments and update calculators accordingly
- We incorporate user feedback to improve explanations and usability
- We expand documentation based on common questions
- We stay current with best practices in our subject areas
