OPXpress places importance on identifying the sources used to prepare an article so readers can verify the origin of important facts, figures and reports.
Types of sources
Sources may include:
- government agencies
- central banks
- regulators
- stock exchanges or market-data providers
- international organizations
- companies and company-issued documents
- economic datasets
- research
- news organizations or media that reported the original event
- primary documents or official announcements
When a direct primary source is available, OPXpress should give priority to that source.
Displaying sources
Articles that rely on external information should display material references in the article’s Sources section when appropriate.
A source entry may show the source role, publisher or institution, the title of the news report, document or dataset, and a link to the original source.
OPXpress does not need to reproduce the full text of a source. References are provided to identify evidence and the origin of information.
Correcting errors
If a material error is found, OPXpress should correct the article promptly as appropriate.
Examples of errors that should be corrected include:
- incorrect figures
- incorrect units
- incorrect names of people or organizations
- incorrect dates
- incorrect source attribution
- wording that materially misrepresents the meaning of the source
Spelling or formatting fixes that do not change the substance may not require a public correction note. If a correction changes the substance of an article, an updated date or correction note may be shown as appropriate.
Reporting an error
Readers can report information that should be reviewed or possible errors through the OPXpress Contact page. Correction requests are assessed using verifiable information and evidence.
