Authors, editors, reviewers and contributors working on LaborCode.ph are expected to meet standards that protect accuracy, transparency and reader trust.
Accuracy and source verification
Contributors must verify material legal claims against authoritative sources. They should not rely solely on summaries, search snippets, generated text or memory when the official law, issuance or decision can be checked directly.
Clear distinction between fact and explanation
Writers must distinguish official legal text, jurisprudential doctrine, administrative guidance and editorial explanation. Examples and practical interpretations should not be presented as though they were binding rules.
Qualifications and biographies
Author and reviewer biographies must accurately describe experience, education, professional roles and credentials. LaborCode.ph does not imply that a contributor is a lawyer, legal specialist or government representative unless that qualification is true and verifiable.
Conflicts of interest
Contributors should disclose financial, professional or personal interests that could reasonably affect their treatment of a topic. Sponsored relationships, paid placements and commercial affiliations must not influence legal conclusions or source selection.
Originality and attribution
Content must be original or properly attributed. Contributors may summarize and explain legal sources, but they must not copy protected commentary, misrepresent another author’s work or present third-party material as their own.
Use of AI and research tools
Automation and AI tools may support research organization, outlining, editing and formatting. Contributors remain responsible for checking citations, quotations, names, dates, legal conclusions and factual accuracy before publication.
Corrections and cooperation
Contributors are expected to cooperate with editorial reviews and correction requests. Repeated fabrication, unsupported legal claims, false credentials or refusal to correct material errors may result in removal of content or contributor access.
