All the members of Doğruluk Payı's editorial board have preserved their objectivity in their work so far. Their social accounts don't seem to show any example of partisanship neither. Likewise, their website and content doesn't have a partisan characteristic and their roof organization (Izlemedeyiz Association) is a very neutral organization too.

In every fact-check that we publish, the resources that we use, including the source of the fact-checked statement, are provided on that specific fact-check content's page. They are just below the end of our fact-check, and easily accessible. No membership required to see the sources.

We use open and public sources to fact-check the claims. Our primary targets for a source are official statistics. Secondary ones are trustworthy international statistical pages. And if we don't have any info from those primary and secondary sources, we search the trustworthy NGOs' reports as sources.

There are some visuals and social media links that these calls that we do can be seen easily;
