Editorial Standards & Feedback Policy
HFN is committed to providing reliable, useful, and context-rich information for professionals across the hydrogen economy. Our editorial standards are designed to support accuracy, transparency, accountability, and reader trust.
1. Editorial Mission
HFN covers the hydrogen economy with a focus on news, insight, analysis, interviews, market context, policy developments, technology trends, projects, companies, infrastructure, finance, and industrial applications.
Our goal is to help readers understand not only what happened, but why it matters and how it may affect the hydrogen sector.
2. Accuracy and Verification
We strive to publish accurate and reliable information. Before publication, we aim to verify key claims using credible sources such as:
- Official company announcements
- Regulatory filings
- Government agencies
- Academic and technical research
- Industry associations
- Expert interviews
- Reputable news and data sources
- Direct statements from relevant organizations
Where possible, we cross-check important information with multiple sources and provide context so readers can understand the significance and limitations of a development.
3. Corrections Policy
HFN takes accuracy seriously. If we identify an error, we will review it and take appropriate corrective action.
Correction requests should be sent to:
Please include:
- Article title
- Article URL
- The information you believe is incorrect
- The proposed correction
- Supporting evidence or source material
- Your name, role, organization, and relationship to the issue, if relevant
We review correction requests in good faith. Where a correction is warranted, we may update the article, add a clarification, or note the change where appropriate.
4. Reader Feedback
We welcome constructive feedback from readers, industry professionals, companies, researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders.
To make feedback useful, please be specific, respectful, and evidence-based. Feedback that is abusive, threatening, discriminatory, defamatory, or unrelated to our work may not receive a response.
We may use reader feedback to improve our coverage, update articles, identify new story opportunities, and strengthen our editorial standards.
5. Independence and Transparency
HFN may publish news, analysis, sponsored content, press releases, advertising, partner content, and contributed articles.
We aim to distinguish editorial content from paid, sponsored, promotional, or partner content where appropriate. Sponsored content, advertising, or press release services do not guarantee favorable editorial coverage.
Our editorial judgment is guided by relevance, accuracy, audience value, and the importance of the subject to the hydrogen economy.
6. Sponsored Content and Press Releases
HFN may offer paid press release, sponsored article, advertising, or promotional services. Sponsored or paid content may be reviewed for clarity, relevance, legality, and suitability before publication.
Submitted content must not be misleading, unlawful, defamatory, plagiarized, or infringe the rights of others. HFN reserves the right to reject, edit, label, or remove submitted content at its discretion.
7. Diversity and Inclusion
HFN values diversity of experience, expertise, geography, background, and perspective. We believe the hydrogen economy is global and cross-sectoral, and our coverage should reflect a broad range of voices across industry, policy, finance, technology, research, infrastructure, and end-use markets.
We are committed to maintaining a respectful environment for contributors, readers, employees, freelancers, and partners. We do not tolerate harassment, discrimination, or abusive conduct based on race, gender, age, disability, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other protected characteristic.
8. Conflicts of Interest
HFN contributors, editors, and partners should avoid conflicts of interest that could compromise the integrity of our content.
Where relevant, we may disclose commercial relationships, sponsorships, partnerships, or other relationships that could reasonably be perceived as influencing content.
9. Use of AI and Editorial Tools
HFN may use digital tools, research tools, automation, or AI-assisted workflows to support editorial production, research, formatting, translation, transcription, summarization, or content distribution.
Human editorial review remains important for content quality, accuracy, and context. AI-assisted tools should not be used as a substitute for proper verification of factual claims.
