Editorial Policy

Last updated: May 2026

SelfStudy.com publishes content for independent learners. This policy explains how we research, write, fact-check, and update everything you read here.

Sources

We rely on peer-reviewed cognitive-science research, official course catalogs, and direct hands-on testing of the platforms and tools we cover.

Author qualifications

Our writers are self-taught learners, former teachers, and subject-matter specialists. Every article is reviewed by at least one editor before publication.

Fact-checking & corrections

If we make a factual error, we correct it promptly and note the change at the top of the affected article. Report errors to corrections@selfstudy.com.

Updates

We review every published article at least once per year. Statistics, prices, and product recommendations are refreshed quarterly.

Independence

Our editorial decisions are independent of our affiliate partnerships. No company can pay to appear in our rankings.
