Editorial Policy

This policy explains how we develop, review, test, and maintain educational calculators and science resources.

Accuracy

Formula and calculation review

Calculator formulas are implemented from established scientific relationships. Calculation engines are tested using representative values, boundary cases, invalid inputs, and expected rearrangements.

Clarity

Educational explanations

We aim to explain variables, formulas, units, assumptions, working steps, and common mistakes in language suitable for learners while preserving scientific meaning.

Evidence

Source and terminology standards

Content is based on established scientific principles, conventional notation, widely used SI units, and standard laboratory practices. Where a topic has multiple conventions, the relevant assumption should be stated.

Maintenance

Updates and corrections

Pages may be updated to improve explanations, correct errors, add examples, strengthen accessibility, revise metadata, or reflect better technical implementation.

Material errors should be corrected promptly after verification. Minor formatting or readability changes may be made without changing the scientific meaning.

Editorial independence

Educational value comes first

Commercial considerations should not change formulas, scientific conclusions, safety guidance, or the presentation of factual educational content.
