Editorial Standards

TurkicPost aims to publish useful, independently written and verifiable information about Türkiye and the wider Turkic world. These standards apply to our practical guides, comparisons and regional explainers.

Topic selection and reader value

We select topics that help a reader complete a task, understand a rule or make an informed choice. An article should provide more than a rewritten search summary. Depending on the subject, that may mean official application steps, decision criteria, limitations, examples, source links or a clear explanation of what cannot be confirmed.

Sourcing and verification

We prefer primary sources: government ministries, official visa portals, regulators, public institutions, transport authorities, universities, sports federations and original programme documents. Company documentation is used for that company’s own service. Secondary reporting may supply context but does not replace an authoritative source for a changeable rule.

Fees, schedules, eligibility rules, product terms and other time-sensitive claims are checked close to publication or revision. A checked date records when the source was reviewed; it is not a promise that an external authority will not change its rules later.

Comparisons and “best” articles

Ranked or recommended lists must disclose meaningful selection criteria. We consider factors relevant to the decision, such as access, official status, facilities, suitability, limitations, maintenance or recent verifiable feedback. Payment, sponsorship or affiliate participation must not determine an editorial ranking.

AI-assisted production

AI tools may help organise research, identify gaps, draft or edit text. They are not treated as factual sources. A human editor is responsible for reviewing the article, checking important claims and deciding whether it is suitable to publish. We do not manufacture quotations, testing, visits, credentials or personal experience.

Updates and corrections

Important factual errors are corrected after verification. Material changes should be reflected in the article’s updated date or correction note where appropriate. The full process is explained in our corrections policy.

Independence and commercial content

Advertising supports publishing costs but does not give an advertiser control over our conclusions. Sponsored or affiliate relationships, if introduced, will be disclosed clearly on affected pages. See our advertising disclosure.
