Corrections

eupublicdata aggregates millions of cells from many providers. Errors happen — in the upstream source, in our normalisation, in our copy. We try to fix them quickly and transparently.

How to flag an error

Email [email protected] with:

• The URL of the page in question.
• The specific figure, chart, table cell or paragraph that you believe is wrong.
• What you believe the correct value or wording is.
• A pointer to the primary source backing your view (Eurostat code, dataset URL, institutional document).

What happens next

1. We acknowledge receipt within 72 hours.
2. We re-fetch the named source and reproduce the discrepancy.
3. If the issue is in our pipeline (parsing, aggregation, copy), we fix it and redeploy within a week of confirmation. The Git commit is the audit trail.
4. If the issue is upstream (the source provider's published figure has been revised or is itself in error), we update to the latest published vintage and, where material, annotate the chart with a methodology note.
5. For material corrections (a figure changes by >5%, a country ranking flips, a headline number on a hub page moves) we add an entry to the log below.

Materiality threshold

Trivial corrections (typos, alt-text fixes, chart-axis tweaks, broken links) are pushed silently via Git history. Material corrections — those that change what a careful reader would have taken away from the page — are logged here with the date, the page affected, what was wrong, and what was changed.

No material corrections logged yet. New entries appear at the top.
