Accuracy and Sourcing
We aim to verify material facts using reliable primary sources, official documents, company statements, direct interviews, and reputable industry data whenever available. Where information cannot be independently verified, we seek to attribute it clearly and describe relevant uncertainty.
Headlines, summaries, images, translations, and social posts should accurately reflect the underlying story and should not intentionally mislead readers.
Editorial Independence
Editorial decisions are based on relevance, accuracy, and value to readers. Advertisers, sponsors, and commercial partners do not receive the right to approve or alter independent editorial coverage.
Sponsored, paid, or partner content is labeled so readers can distinguish it from independent editorial work. A commercial relationship does not guarantee favorable coverage.
Conflicts of Interest
Writers and contributors should disclose significant financial, professional, or personal interests that could reasonably affect their coverage. When a relevant conflict exists, we will address it through disclosure, reassignment, or another appropriate editorial measure.
Interviews, Quotes, and Contributions
We aim to represent sources fairly and preserve the meaning and context of their comments. Guest contributions and opinion pieces should be identified appropriately; the views expressed belong to their authors and may not reflect those of China Cosmetics.
Contributed material must be original, appropriately sourced, and submitted by someone with the right to provide it. Submission does not guarantee publication. Editors may verify, edit, translate, shorten, decline, or remove material when necessary for accuracy, clarity, safety, legal compliance, or editorial fit.
To contribute, review the guidelines and submit your material through our Submit News page. Logged-in contributors can track review and publication status in their account dashboard.
AI-Assisted Work
Digital and AI tools may assist with research organization, transcription, translation, editing, or production. Material facts and final editorial decisions remain subject to human review. We do not knowingly publish fabricated quotations, sources, or evidence generated by AI.
Contributors should disclose material use of generative AI when it affects the substance, sourcing, images, or originality of a submission.
Corrections, Updates, and Reader Reports
We correct material errors as promptly and transparently as practical. Minor spelling, grammar, formatting, or clarity edits may be made without a correction note. Substantive corrections or updates may be identified on the article when appropriate.
To report a problem, select Report an issue in the relevant article’s sharing toolbar. You can identify a factual error, typo or formatting issue, outdated information, source or attribution concern, copyright concern, advertising or conflict-of-interest concern, or another issue and add supporting details. Reports go directly to our editorial review queue. Logged-in users can view their submitted reports and statuses in the account dashboard.
Submitting a report does not guarantee a correction or removal, but credible reports are reviewed against available evidence.
