Publishing Integrity

Editorial Standards & Ethics

Our binding commitment to empirical accuracy, visual integrity, non-duplicate imagery, and uncompromising architectural independence.

Antique architectural library archive representing scholarly editorial research — Dominion Accommodation adheres to university-press-grade citation rigor and rigorous visual verification.

1. Empirical Fact-Checking & Primary Sourcing

Every assertion of fact, material density rating, historical property valuation, or botanical cultivation instruction published across our pillars must trace directly to verified primary documentation. Our editors cross-reference claims against:

Peer-reviewed agricultural and botanical journals (e.g., Royal Horticultural Society, USDA Horticultural Research).
Architectural structural engineering codes and building science registries (e.g., AIA, RIBA, Passive House Institute).
Certified land registry filings, deed transfers, and municipal architectural conservation records.
Direct on-site artisan interviews and physical material bench testing.

2. Zero-Duplicate Visual Media Policy

To provide our readership with an unparalleled aesthetic experience and maintain the highest visual search standards:

Mandatory Visual Integrity Rule: No image may be duplicated across articles, pillars, or pages on Dominion Accommodation. Each photograph, blueprint, and technical schematic is cataloged with a unique cryptographic hash and verified against our asset registry before publication. Every post features at least two distinct, high-resolution photographs with accurate captions and descriptive alt text.

3. Commercial Independence & Advertising Neutrality

Dominion Accommodation is funded through display advertising (including Google AdSense) and programmatic header bidding. However, our editorial decisions are completely quarantined from commercial influences:

Advertisers have zero advance review privileges or influence over editorial conclusions.
Sponsored content or affiliate relationships, when present, are transparently disclosed at the beginning of each relevant report.
Positive editorial coverage cannot be purchased, negotiated, or traded for advertising revenue.

4. AI Transparency & Human Authorship

While our staff utilizes automated research indexing tools for data aggregation, every published article is crafted, synthesized, and verified by human subject matter experts. We prohibit purely AI-generated text that lacks human domain expertise, critical reflection, or firsthand physical knowledge.

5. Correction & Retraction Policy

Despite exhaustive pre-publication diligence, errors may occasionally occur. When an inaccuracy is identified:

Minor Corrections: Typographical errors or minor data points are corrected immediately, accompanied by a timestamped footnote at the base of the article detailing the edit.
Substantive Clarifications: If an analysis requires meaningful revision, an explicit editorial note is placed at the top of the article explaining the correction.
Retractions: Should an article fail our core standards of originality or factual validity, it is retracted with a public memorandum explaining the rationale.

6. Submitting Editorial Corrections

To report a factual discrepancy or suggest a citation amendment, please contact our Senior Standards Editor directly at editorial@dominionaccommodation.online with the article URL, paragraph number, and supporting primary evidence.
