Editorial Method
Verification Press publishes only what can be defended. This page describes the minimum method required before something is considered publishable.
Step 01
Define the claim
State the claim precisely. Bound scope. Distinguish observation, inference, and opinion.
Step 02
Collect evidence
Gather primary sources first. Track provenance. Prefer direct documentation over summaries.
Step 03
Cross-check and stress-test
Seek disconfirming evidence. Compare multiple sources. Identify contradictions and explain resolution.
Step 04
Publish with traceability
Cite sources. Show method. Declare uncertainty. Readers must be able to reconstruct the path to the conclusion.
Publication gates
- Claim is bounded and falsifiable where applicable.
- Sources are captured and attributable (not “trust me”).
- Uncertainty is explicit, not hidden.
- Scope limits and assumptions are declared.
- Reader can replicate the reasoning path.
