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
Who reviews the work
The Korea Path Editorial Desk reviews page structure, traveler usefulness, source coverage, language quality, safety and rights before publication. The desk is an accountable editorial role rather than a claim that AI authored or approved the page independently. Readers can use the correction form to challenge a statement and provide a stronger official source.
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.
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.
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.
