Editorial standards

Trust should be inspectable.

HRI Academy aims to make the reasoning behind its educational material visible. These standards describe how sources are selected, how examples are labeled, and how corrections are handled.

Trace claims to evidence

Core concepts should point to peer-reviewed research, authoritative books, official standards, or primary regulatory material. A citation is included because it supports a claim—not because it merely discusses the same topic.

Separate evidence from judgment

Research findings, professional recommendations, design exercises, and HRI Academy interpretations are different kinds of material. We label those distinctions and avoid presenting an illustrative scenario as a documented case study.

Use bounded language

Small studies and context-specific findings do not establish universal rules. We state meaningful limitations and do not claim accreditation, employer recognition, legal compliance, or safety certification without verifiable grounds.

Correct and update

Lessons display their latest source-review date. Standards and regulations require renewed review when they change. Material issues are corrected in the lesson rather than hidden behind a general disclaimer.

Review process

  1. 01

    Source

    Identify primary and authoritative material for the lesson’s core claims.

  2. 02

    Check

    Compare lesson language with what the evidence actually establishes and record limitations.

  3. 03

    Publish

    Show the references and review date, then correct the lesson when better evidence emerges.
