RESEARCH PRACTICE
Reliable home-design guidance depends on knowing what a source can actually establish. This page explains how Golden State Kitchen handles citations, changing information, and corrections.
California code, energy, housing, and regulatory claims should be checked against the responsible state or local agency. Articles may also cite original industry research for design and renovation trends when the methodology is available.
Rules, product standards, incentive programs, and trend data can change. Time-sensitive stories should identify the applicable date and be reviewed before they are substantially refreshed or republished.
When a material factual error is identified during editorial review, the article should be corrected promptly. Significant changes should be noted within the article when the correction would affect a reader’s understanding of the original claim.
Whenever practical, articles should link directly to the underlying source rather than relying on an unsourced summary. Archived or superseded material should be labeled when it is retained for historical context.
