Editorial monitoring cycle

How are updates reviewed?

Monitoring and content updates are manual; no automated monitoring service is active. This list provides sources and a suggested review cadence for the editor. An item is not added to the Madar register merely because a headline appears; the affected tool or text, source type, scope and effective date are checked where applicable.
