Beyond the Heartbeats corrects mistakes in the open and keeps a visible record of what changed. We don’t quietly edit published work.
- Anyone, whether a reader, a contributor, or a clinical advisor, can flag a factual error, an outdated citation, or a misrepresented finding by writing to editorial@thesilence.us.
- Once an error is confirmed, we fix it in the published piece and add a dated correction note explaining what changed and why.
- Serious errors that affect a clinical or research claim go to a clinical advisor for review first, before the correction is finalized.
- We’ll keep a running corrections log for each issue on the magazine’s website.
- This policy applies just as much to work written by the magazine’s own editor. Nothing is exempt from correction because of who wrote it.
