Editorial policy

The sourcing, review and publication rules behind every Korea Path guide.

Last updated July 11, 2026
01

Publication standard

Every indexable page must solve a distinct traveler task and cite at least one relevant official source. A page is not publishable merely because it is grammatically complete or targets a keyword.

  • A unique decision, route or planning value
  • Official-source references and a last-review date
  • Rights metadata for every image
  • Human approval for volatile or sensitive claims
02

Source hierarchy

We prefer transport operators, venue operators, government services and official tourism boards. A third-party source may help discovery but cannot silently replace the authority responsible for a live rule, timetable or price.

03

Volatile facts

Prices, schedules, access rules, event status and last-train claims expire quickly. They are stored separately, assigned a review interval and withheld when the review window expires. Readers are directed to the operator for a day-of-travel confirmation.

04

Independence and advertising

Advertising, affiliate relationships and complimentary access do not change the fact-checking standard. Sponsored material, if introduced, will be labeled and kept separate from editorial recommendations.
