Fact-Checking Policy
At carpatclim-eu, we are committed to providing accurate, reliable, and scientifically verified climatological data and research findings. Ensuring the integrity of the information we share is at the core of our mission. Our fact-checking process is designed to maintain high standards of accuracy, transparency, and credibility in all published content.
Commitment to Accuracy
We prioritize accuracy in all reports, datasets, and climate-related insights. To achieve this, we rely on data from authoritative sources such as national meteorological and hydrological services, scientific institutions, and recognized climate organizations. Our research findings undergo a rigorous review process before publication, ensuring that all information is based on standardized methodologies for data validation and quality control.
Data Verification Process
Our fact-checking process consists of multiple steps to ensure the reliability of the climatological information we provide.
Source Evaluation
All data originates from trusted and authoritative sources, including national and international climate research institutions, official climatological databases, and meteorological services. We also reference peer-reviewed scientific journals and climate reports to strengthen the validity of our findings.
Cross-Referencing with Independent Sources
To prevent errors and inconsistencies, we compare climate data across multiple independent sources. Findings are cross-checked with national and international climate monitoring organizations. If discrepancies arise, we investigate them thoroughly and work with domain experts to resolve any inconsistencies before publishing the final results.
Expert Review & Validation
Data and research findings undergo validation by climate scientists, meteorologists, and regional experts. We employ standardized methodologies such as the Multiple Analysis of Series for Homogenization (MASH) for data quality control and the Meteorological Interpolation based on Surface Homogenized Database (MISH) for interpolation and gridding. These techniques ensure consistency, reliability, and accuracy in climate data across the Larger Carpathian Region (LCR).
By adhering to a rigorous fact-checking process, we ensure that our climatological research and databases remain a trusted resource for researchers, policymakers, and the scientific community.
