Editorial policy

Rising Living Journal aims to publish clear, considered writing about personal growth and life transitions. We distinguish explanation from opinion, check details before publication and make corrections when something is wrong or unclear.

Accuracy and clarity

We review names, dates, quotations and other checkable details before publication, and write carefully about what an article can and cannot establish. Where a subject allows more than one reasonable interpretation, we avoid presenting one view as settled fact. Readers can contact us through the Contact page to flag an error or ask for clarification.

Independence and partnerships

Editorial decisions are made for readers, not as a promise of favourable coverage. Paid placements, sponsored features and material produced with a partner will be clearly labelled so readers can recognise the relationship. A partnership does not remove the distinction between editorial material and promotion.

Corrections and illustrations

When we confirm a meaningful error, we correct it and make the change clear where appropriate. We welcome specific, relevant correction requests through the Contact page. Some illustrations may be AI-generated; where that applies, the image will be identified so it is not mistaken for documentary photography.
