Editorial policy

StackCarta explains useful technology with sources, practical context and honest limitations. This page describes how that promise is kept.

Sources

Factual claims are attributed to specific source pages — documentation, release notes, licenses, papers or repositories — listed at the end of each article. News, discovery, comparison and review articles always cite sources.

Documentation versus hands-on testing

Every article states its basis:

• Documented research summarizes published sources without testing the software ourselves.
• Hands-on tested means the author ran the software; the tested version, date and method are listed.
• Mixed combines both, and the article says which statements come from which.

We never describe something as tested without a record of that testing, and we do not publish invented measurements or review scores.

Corrections and updates

When an error is found, the article is corrected and its “Updated” date changes. Updated dates are only changed for substantive changes, not for typo fixes. Report errors through the contact page.

Use of AI

AI tools may be used for research assistance or drafting. A human reviews and edits every article before publication and is responsible for its accuracy. When AI involvement in an article is material, the article says so in a disclosure near the top.

Affiliate links and sponsorship

There are currently no affiliate links or sponsored articles. If that changes, affected articles will carry a clear disclosure, and sponsorship will not change our conclusions.
