College Sports Network has a zero-tolerance policy towards plagiarism, rehashing and AI content. If an article is found to have any such content, it is rewritten immediately and the writer is penalized.
Every article at College Sports Network goes through the following steps:
- Before the writer begins working on the article, its premise is sent for approval to a content manager.
- After getting approval the writer submits the article, and its content is thoroughly checked for factual accuracy, grammar, typos and sensitivity by an editor.
- If the editor believes the article needs material changes, it is sent back to the writer for being reworked.
- The final draft is then checked again by the editor and published on the website.
- A team of senior editors subsequently reviews all the articles published during the day and makes any changes or corrections that may be required.
Readers can point out any errors that they may have noticed in any article by sending an email to [email protected]. All feedback received is acted upon promptly by the senior editors, who make corrections and add disclosures wherever necessary.
