Our impact and credibility
Research process and principles
- We explain the process and principles we use to guide our work here.
- For each individual article on our site, we justify our claims in footnotes, appendices, or other reports. If you see a claim that isn’t backed up by a link or citation, you can assume there’s no further justification.
- We ask experts in the relevant area to check our articles for mistakes before we publish them.
- We try to make it easy to critique our work by providing a summary of our key findings, explaining our research process, and flagging key judgement calls and uncertainties.
Transparency
We publish:
- Organisational reviews regularly
- Our annual accounts
- A summary of the key mistakes we’ve made as an organisation
