Editorial Policies

Corrections/Fact Checking Policy

Drug Discovery News’ (DDN) content is edited and directed by a team of PhD-trained science writers who work diligently to fact check and ensure that each story, infographic, podcast, video, and article is accurate. In the event of an error or misattribution, we will correct it as soon as possible and post a dated correction, clarification, or editor’s note near the bottom of the article. If a mistake occurs in a story that first appeared in the print magazine, we will also publish a correction notice in the table of contents of the next possible issue. If you detect an error in one of our articles, please email DDN’s content director, Kristie Nybo, at nybo@drugdiscoverynews.com. Corrections are made at the discretion of DDN’s editorial staff.
