Sources & Corrections

Sourcing standard

Every infographic names its primary source directly on the page — a national statistics office, Eurostat, NATO's own published reports, a piece of legislation, a court ruling, or an equivalent authoritative record. Where a figure is disputed or methodology-dependent (the unadjusted vs. adjusted gender pay gap, for instance), the page says so explicitly rather than presenting one number as the whole story.

We don't invent statistics to fill a gap. Where we couldn't verify a figure against a real source, we left it out rather than estimate it silently.

Data that changes after publication

Some of what we chart is inherently a snapshot — coalition governments, in particular, form and collapse on a timeline no single infographic can keep pace with. Pieces built on that kind of data say so directly, with an explicit as-of date, rather than presenting a moving target as a permanent fact.

Reporting a correction

If you've found a figure that's wrong, out of date, or traceable to a source that's since been revised, we want to know. Email info@dailyinfographics.eu with the page, the figure, and what you believe the correct value is (with a source if you have one) — we'll check it against the primary record and update the page if it's warranted.
