Editorial policy

Geopolitics Tracker publishes under the organizational byline GT Team. Our aim is to explain geopolitical developments through evidence, competing explanations and their implications.

Sources and interpretation

Consequential factual claims should link to supporting evidence. We prioritize official documents and original data, alongside reporting from established publications. We distinguish reported facts from analytical judgments and conditional scenarios. A source’s institutional interests matter; an official statement is evidence of what its issuer said, not independent proof of every claim it makes.

Research tools and publication checks

Our workflow uses AI tools for research, drafting and automated review. Scheduled articles must pass source, citation, freshness and evidence checks before publication. These checks can fail and do not constitute human review. We do not claim that every article has been reviewed by a person. Articles that fail the automated checks are held.

Paywalled or inaccessible pages are not treated as fully read. Search snippets and feed previews help identify topics; they are not substitutes for sufficient evidence. Readers should use the linked sources to examine the basis for the analysis.

Charts and illustrations

Charts should identify their source, units and observation period, with underlying values or a methodology where available. Historical observations are labeled as historical. Editorial illustrations are conceptual visuals, not documentary photographs or evidence that an event occurred.

Dates and corrections

Publication dates refer to the original publication. An update date indicates a recorded edit; it is not refreshed merely because someone visits the page. Older articles describe conditions at their stated dates and should not be read as live status reports.

To report an error, use the contact details on our About page and include the article URL, the claim and supporting evidence. Substantive factual corrections should be explained on the affected article. A correction request is reviewed before a change is made.
