Policy of Independence
Our commitment to independent research and journalism
Research Independence
The SPRING Group is committed to maintaining the highest standards of independence in our research and journalism. Our work is guided by rigorous academic standards and a commitment to factual accuracy, regardless of political or ideological considerations.
Editorial Independence
Our editorial decisions are made independently by our research team and editorial board. We do not accept funding or direction from any organization that would compromise our ability to conduct objective research or publish our findings freely.
Transparency
We are committed to transparency in our funding sources, methodology, and potential conflicts of interest. All research publications include appropriate disclosures and methodological information to allow readers to evaluate our work independently.
Peer Review
Our research undergoes rigorous internal and external peer review processes to ensure quality and accuracy. We welcome feedback and criticism from the academic community and other stakeholders.
