Editorial Policy

Who We Are

EconoLens is an independent economics intelligence platform published by Econolens Media and Technology, a sole proprietorship based in India. We are not affiliated with, funded by, or beholden to any government body, central bank, political party, or financial institution we cover. Our team's backgrounds and credentials are described on the About page.

Sourcing Standards

Every data-driven article on EconoLens is built on official, primary-source releases — central bank statements, statistical-office bulletins, and international-institution reports. Our primary source hierarchy, from highest to lowest confidence, is:

• Primary, zero-risk sources: RBI, SEBI, Ministry of Finance, MOSPI, IMF, World Bank, US Federal Reserve, ECB, Bank of England, Bank of Japan.
• Academic and research sources: NBER, SSRN, REPEC working papers — cited and paraphrased, never presented as settled fact where a paper's findings are preliminary.
• Secondary reporting (wire services, other outlets) is used only to confirm a fact is publicly known, never quoted, and never our sole source for a claim.

Every article names its source institution and links to the original release wherever one is publicly available. We do not reproduce sentences from copyrighted news reporting; we synthesise official data into our own original analysis.

How Articles Are Made

Every article begins with the official sources named above. Our writing team develops each release into an original piece — including analysis that goes beyond restating the source, plus a chart or data table drawn from the underlying dataset. Each draft then goes to our head editorial team for review, followed by our standard verification checks on data, figures, and sourcing, before final approval and publication. Longer-form Study and Research pieces follow the same process, with a named author on every byline.

Fact-Checking

Before publication, every article is checked against its cited source for numerical accuracy (figures, dates, units, percentage changes) and run through an originality check to confirm it is not duplicating another publication's language. A sample of published articles is re-reviewed by a second team member on an ongoing basis. Where a claim cannot be verified against a primary source, it is either removed or explicitly attributed and caveated.

Corrections

We correct errors as soon as we confirm them. A factual error that changes the meaning of an article is corrected in the text and noted with a dated correction line at the bottom of the article stating what was changed and why. Minor errors (typos, formatting) are fixed without a formal note. If you spot something that looks wrong, please tell us — see Contact — and include the article link and the specific issue. We aim to acknowledge correction reports within two business days.

What EconoLens Is Not

EconoLens is an economics news and education platform, not a SEBI-registered investment advisor or research analyst. Nothing we publish is financial, investment, legal, or tax advice — see our Disclaimer for full detail.
