Who the Research Desk is
War Info Hub is an independent informational project, run by its founder. All research and writing is done in-house and published under the War Info Hub Research Desk byline. There are no staff names to list because no staff personas exist: we do not invent reporters, credentials, or biographies, and any change to how the project is run will be recorded on this page and on our about page. When you read a War Info Hub report, the Research Desk — and behind it the founder who runs this project — is who is responsible for it.
What the desk does
The desk monitors wire services, international broadcasters, UN agencies, and specialist data projects; reads the reporting in full; and writes the situation reports, analysis, explainers, and trackers published here. The desk also maintains the site's conflict trackers and hub pages, and reviews them against fresh sourcing on a regular cycle — each tracker entry shows the date it was last reviewed.
How this report was verified
Every article on this site passes the same checks before it is published. This is the method the byline link on each article points to:
1. Sources are opened and read, not skimmed. The sources listed at the foot of each article are the publications actually read during its reporting. Headlines and social-media posts are treated as leads, never as publishable sources.
2. Sources are tiered. Tier 1: wire services (Reuters, AP, AFP) and official records. Tier 2: international broadcasters and institutions (major public broadcasters, UN agencies and commissions, established research institutes). Tier 3: specialist data projects and monitors (for example ACLED, the IPC famine monitor, and conflict-data programmes) whose methods are published. Our full standards are on the methodology page and the sources policy.
3. Contested claims need two independent sources. Casualty figures, claims about who struck whom, and anything the parties to a conflict dispute must be carried by two independent sources from different tiers or different ownership before we state them. Where only one source carries a claim, we publish it as that source's account, with the limitation stated — or we drop it.
4. Figures are never invented, rounded into certainty, or merged. Numbers appear only when a named source states them, and the source is named in the text. Separate appeals, windows, and estimates are reported separately — never added together into a bigger number.
5. Imagery is licensed and honestly captioned. Photographs are licensed or public-domain file images, credited in our attribution record, and captioned so it is clear they do not depict the reported events unless they genuinely do. We never publish graphic imagery of dead or wounded people.
6. Market figures are checked at a stated time. War & Markets briefings record when each figure was checked and label the numbers as snapshots, not live prices — and carry no investment advice, ever.
Corrections responsibility
The Research Desk owns corrections. If a report is wrong, we fix the article, note what changed, and follow the process set out in our corrections policy. To report an error, write to tips@warinfohub.com with the article link and what you believe is wrong — reader reports are read, checked against the sources, and answered by correction or by an explanation of the sourcing.
