Independence

Who pays us, and what they get.

Some of our work is paid for by clients and funders. These are the rules we follow.

What clients and funders can and can't do

Control

Before we take money, we agree in writing what we will do and who owns it. A client can ask us not to publish under our name. They can't change what we found.

Money

No one funder gives us more than 40% of our income.

Labels

Paid work is labelled and the funder is named. The views are the author's, not the client's.

Checking

A second person reproduces every result before we publish. We check every citation by hand.
