Editorial Policy
Last Updated: October 2025
At Mahadev Book, integrity and transparency are at the core of our editorial operations.
This Editorial Policy defines the principles, standards, and procedures that guide all content published on mahadevbookks.com.
Our goal is to maintain the highest level of trust, accuracy, and fairness in every article, report, and publication we produce.
1. Purpose of the Editorial Policy
The purpose of this policy is to ensure that all information shared on our platform is accurate, verified, and unbiased.
We follow strict editorial guidelines to guarantee that our readers receive clear, factual, and transparent information.
2. Editorial Independence
Mahadev Book operates as an independent publication.
Our editorial decisions are made solely by the content and editorial teams—free from outside influence, sponsors, or advertisers.
No paid partnership or advertisement dictates the nature or direction of our articles.
Sponsored content, if published, is clearly labeled as “Sponsored” or “Affiliate Content.”
3. Content Accuracy and Verification
Before publication, every piece of content undergoes fact-checking, review, and proofreading by our internal editors.
We verify:
- That factual claims are supported by trustworthy and traceable sources;
- That data and statistics are up to date and from verifiable sources;
- That grammar, readability, and flow align with our editorial standards.
4. Ethical Standards and Responsibility
We follow the principles of honesty, fairness, and objectivity in all our editorial work.
Our editors and writers commit to ethical conduct and avoid any conflicts of interest that could compromise editorial neutrality.
5. Handling Errors and Corrections
Despite our best efforts, errors can occur.
When inaccuracies are identified—either internally or through user feedback—they are corrected promptly according to our Corrections & Updates Policy.
A note is added to the bottom of the corrected article describing the change for complete transparency.
6. Fact-Checking and Review
We have a dedicated fact-checking process that involves reviewing content for accuracy, consistency, and balance.
Every statement, quote, or number used in our articles must be verifiable through credible references.
7. Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Mahadev Book uses AI tools strictly for content drafting, grammar checking, and SEO optimization—never for publishing unchecked information.
All AI-assisted content is manually reviewed by an editor before publication.
8. Conflict of Interest Policy
Writers, editors, or contributors must disclose any professional or financial interest related to a topic they cover.
We strictly prohibit authors from writing about entities or services they are personally affiliated with unless disclosed transparently.
9. Sponsored and Affiliate Content
Sponsored or affiliate content is treated distinctly from editorial work.
Such materials are labeled accordingly and reviewed to ensure they comply with our Affiliate Disclosure and Advertising Policy.
10. Plagiarism and Originality
All content published on Mahadev Book must be original.
We do not tolerate plagiarism, duplicate content, or unethical republishing.
Writers must credit all sources, references, and third-party media appropriately.
11. Content Updates and Version Control
All pages include a visible “Last Updated” date to inform readers about when the content was last reviewed.
Major editorial changes are recorded in our Transparency Report for public accountability.
12. User Feedback and Complaints
Readers may report editorial concerns or factual discrepancies through our Contact page or Grievance Redressal Policy.
We evaluate every legitimate complaint within seven working days and update or correct information as needed.
13. Language and Accessibility
We write in clear, professional, and inclusive language to ensure accessibility for all users, including those with assistive technologies.
This approach aligns with our Accessibility Statement.
14. Legal and Ethical Compliance
Mahadev Book adheres to the Press Council of India’s Ethical Code of Conduct and the Digital Media Ethics Code, 2021.
We also ensure compliance with intellectual property, data protection, and privacy laws applicable to online publications.
15. Editorial Review Structure
