Editorial Policy

Last updated: September 26, 2026

C. O. Eric is an independent technology, publishing and educational project. This page explains how we create, review and correct material so visitors can understand who is responsible for it and how information is sourced.

What we publish

Our original material includes software documentation, project explanations, educational notes, research guides, book descriptions, essays and editorial summaries. Resource directories are clearly presented as directories and are not presented as official partners of the services they link to.

Newsroom standards

The Newsroom may use software and AI-assisted tools to help collect, organize and draft summaries from cited public sources. AI assistance does not make a source authoritative. Published news should identify its sources, distinguish reported facts from claims or allegations, and avoid presenting unresolved matters as settled facts.

Because automated publishing can produce repetition or errors, the Newsroom is being moved toward a curated workflow. News pages are not part of the site's current search sitemap while this work is completed. This separation is intentional: the main site should not depend on automatically generated news pages for its value.

Originality and external sources

We do not claim ownership of facts, trademarks, quotations or material belonging to third parties. External sources are linked where appropriate. We aim to add context, organization, explanation or other useful information rather than simply reproducing another publisher's article.

Corrections

If we discover a factual error, broken source, misleading description or outdated information, we may correct the page, add clarification or remove it. Readers can report corrections through the contact page or the relevant project repository.

Authorship

Books and original writing are published under the C. O. Eric author identity. Software and educational resources are maintained as part of the C. O. Eric project. Where third-party material is used as a source, that relationship is identified rather than presented as original reporting.

Advertising separation

Advertising is kept separate from editorial content. We do not ask visitors to click ads, and we do not make ads look like navigation, downloads or editorial links. See the Privacy Policy for advertising and cookie information.

Questions, corrections and project feedback can be sent through the Contact page or the relevant official GitHub repository.
