Editorial transparency

Editorial methodology

Libertatis Venezuela is an independent editorial project. Its purpose is to communicate liberal ideas, explain economic and political concepts, and analyse Venezuela with clarity, intellectual honesty and respect for sources.

How topics are selected

Topics are selected based on their relevance to individual liberty, economics, institutions, Venezuelan public debate, entrepreneurship or the explanation of liberal concepts. Search intent, usefulness for the reader and connection with other articles on the site are also considered.

Sourcing principles

Primary documents and data are preferred where practical. Reputable secondary sources are used to provide context, compare interpretations or explain debates. Statistics should be connected to an identifiable source, and quotations must be attributable and verifiable.

Contested claims are presented as contested, and descriptive fact is distinguished from editorial interpretation and opinion. Invented citations and unverifiable claims are not acceptable. Translations and localisations must preserve the source meaning and evidence of the original; they cannot manufacture new support.

How articles are written and reviewed

Each article aims to distinguish facts, interpretation and opinion. The editorial process reviews clarity, internal coherence, structure, sources, internal links, SEO metadata, translation when applicable and consistency with the project’s editorial line.

Use of artificial intelligence tools

Libertatis Venezuela may use artificial intelligence tools to support research synthesis, structure, drafting, translation or localisation, editing, metadata and editorial automation. Responsibility for published material remains with Daniel Sardá as site editor. Citations and factual claims must be checked against their sources regardless of the tools used.

AI assistance is not independent legal, medical, financial, academic or expert review. The site does not publish AI contribution percentages or claim an identical manual line-by-line review for every article.

Corrections and material changes

A minor typographical or editorial correction may be made without changing the text’s meaning. A substantive factual correction should repair the affected fact, attribution or context. A material update should reflect new information or a meaningful change in interpretation without treating the earlier text as though it never existed.

Articles support a modification date, and the site displays the latest update when it differs from publication. That date should be used for substantive corrections and material changes, not for typography or metadata edits that do not alter the content.

To report a possible error, use the corrections contact route and include the URL, the specific passage and, where possible, a source. No response time is promised. There is no historical public corrections log; this policy applies going forward.

Political independence

Libertatis Venezuela defends ideas, not parties. Daniel Sardá is not and will not be affiliated with any political party, and the project does not operate as an instrument of an electoral organisation.

Limits

Libertatis Venezuela content is not legal, financial, tax, academic or specialised professional advice. Articles offer public explanation, editorial analysis and arguments from an independent liberal perspective.
