Editorial Guidelines

PRINCIPLES

At Coldside Cook, we are committed to delivering high-quality content that informs, inspires, and engages our audience. Our editorial principles guide every aspect of content creation and publication to ensure accuracy, integrity, and relevance.

WHAT WE DO

Coldside Cook is a comprehensive platform dedicated to exploring the diverse world of food. We publish articles covering a wide range of topics, including gardening, cooking, nutrition, agriculture, recipes, and ingredient & food history. Our content aims to educate, entertain, and foster a deeper appreciation for food culture and practices.

FACT-CHECKING

Fact-checking is a fundamental aspect of our editorial process. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of accuracy and reliability, ensuring that all claims, statistics, and information presented in our articles are thoroughly researched and supported by credible sources. Authors are encouraged to cite reputable scientific studies, academic research, and expert opinions when discussing topics related to nutrition, agriculture, and health.

WRITERS & SOURCES

We collaborate with a diverse community of writers, experts, and enthusiasts passionate about food and its many facets. Our contributors bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to their work, enriching our content with unique perspectives and insights. We prioritize transparency and accountability, providing clear guidelines and expectations for writers regarding content creation, citation practices, and ethical considerations.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE POLICY

While we may utilize artificial intelligence tools to enhance certain aspects of content creation and optimization, human oversight remains integral to our editorial process. AI technologies may be employed for tasks such as keyword analysis, content recommendations, and SEO optimization. However, final editorial decisions, including fact-checking, editing, and quality control, are made by our team of human editors and subject matter experts.

CORRECTIONS & CONTENT QUALITY UPDATES

In the event of errors, inaccuracies, or updates to published content, we are committed to promptly issuing corrections and updates. Transparency and accountability are paramount, and we strive to maintain the highest standards of accuracy and integrity in all our published materials. Readers are encouraged to reach out to our editorial team with any concerns or feedback regarding content quality and accuracy.

DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

We embrace diversity and inclusion in all aspects of our content creation and publication. We actively seek out voices from various cultural backgrounds, regions, and expertise levels to provide a rich tapestry of perspectives on food-related topics. Our goal is to amplify marginalized voices, celebrate cultural diversity, and promote inclusivity within the food community.

EDITORIAL ETHICS

Ethical considerations guide our editorial decisions and practices at every stage of content creation and publication. We prioritize honesty, integrity, and transparency in our interactions with readers, contributors, and partners. We adhere to established ethical standards for journalism and content creation, avoiding conflicts of interest, promoting responsible reporting, and upholding the rights of all individuals involved in the content creation process.

COMMERCE

While we may feature commerce-related content, such as product recommendations or affiliate links, transparency and integrity are paramount. We clearly disclose any potential commercial relationships or partnerships that may influence our content, ensuring that readers can make informed decisions. Our primary focus remains on providing valuable, informative content that enriches the reader experience and fosters a deeper understanding of food and its cultural significance.

By adhering to these editorial guidelines, we uphold our commitment to delivering trustworthy, informative, and engaging content to our audience, while fostering a culture of integrity, diversity, and inclusion within our community.
