Corrections Policy

TOP Australian Architects is committed to publishing accurate and reliable information about Australian architects and their work across various locations, from Sydney to Perth, Melbourne to Brisbane, and all regional areas. We strive for precision in all our articles, profiles, and listings. Our aim is to provide correct details for readers and professionals seeking architectural insights.

Despite our best efforts, errors may occasionally occur. This policy outlines our process for addressing and correcting any inaccuracies found on our website.

Types of Corrections

We classify corrections into different categories based on their nature and impact on the content.

Minor Fixes

Minor fixes involve small errors that do not alter the overall meaning or understanding of an article. These include typographical errors, grammatical mistakes, punctuation issues, or slight misspellings of names or locations. We update these directly within the article without a formal correction notice.

Significant Corrections

Significant corrections address factual inaccuracies that could mislead readers or misrepresent an architect or project. Examples include incorrect project details, wrong firm specializations, or errors in an architect’s professional background. These changes impact the substance of the content.

Retractions

A retraction occurs when an article or piece of content is found to be entirely false, based on fraudulent information, or published in error. This is an uncommon action reserved for situations where the core premise of the content is incorrect. We remove the content and issue a retraction notice.

How Corrections Are Noted

Our approach to noting corrections depends on the type of error.

For Minor Fixes, we update the content directly. We do not typically add a specific correction note for these small adjustments.
For Significant Corrections, we append a clear correction notice to the affected article. This notice explains what was changed and the date of the correction. The original content is updated to reflect the accurate information.
For Retractions, we remove the original content. We replace it with a notice that states the content has been retracted, including the reason for retraction and the date.

How to Report an Error

We welcome assistance from our readers in maintaining the accuracy of our content. If you believe you have identified an error in an article or architect profile on TOP Australian Architects, please inform us promptly.

To report an error, send an email to editorial@topauarchitects.com. Please include the following details:

The URL (web address) of the article containing the error.
A clear description of the specific error.
The correct information.
Any supporting evidence or sources that verify the correct information.

Reviewing Reported Errors and Timeline

Upon receiving an error report, our editorial team will acknowledge your submission within 2 business days. We will then conduct a thorough review to verify the reported inaccuracy. This verification process involves checking our sources and, if necessary, contacting the relevant architects or firms.

We aim to complete the review and take appropriate action for verified errors within 5 business days of acknowledging receipt. The time required for full resolution may vary depending on the complexity of the correction.

Transparency and Correction History

TOP Australian Architects is committed to transparency in our corrections process. For significant corrections and retractions, the correction notice will remain visible at the bottom of the affected article. This ensures that all readers are aware of any changes made to the original content.

Our goal is to maintain trust with our audience by openly addressing and rectifying inaccuracies.
