Editorial Policy
Last Updated: November 13, 2025
This Editorial Policy outlines the principles, quality standards, and ethical commitments that guide Publishing House №10 (hereinafter, “the Publisher”) in the creation, selection, and publication of content on the website www.ph-10.shop. Our core mission is the promotion of high-quality Russian literature in translation.
1. Our Standards and Expertise
1.1. Our Niche
We are a highly specialized platform focused exclusively on Russian literature in translation. Our team possesses deep knowledge in the fields of literary translation, publishing, and the specifics of the Russian-language literary process.
1.2. Responsibility for Content
• Original Content: The Editorial Board of the Publisher is responsible for all content created by the Publisher (reviews, interviews, roundups). We guarantee that this content is unique and created according to professional standards.
2. Content Creation Principles
2.1. Ethical Promotion Principles (Conflict of Interest)
We commit to strictly maintaining editorial independence despite working with paid promotion:
• Independence of Decision: Our primary goal is the promotion of quality Russian literature. The fact of payment for a listing or promotional service does not influence our decision to publish and cannot be a condition for a positive book evaluation.
• “No Negative Reviews” Principle: We do not publish negative reviews on a paid basis. If a book submitted for a review genuinely does not resonate with us, we will decline the service and not charge the fee, maintaining our editorial focus on promoting quality literature.
2.2. Fact-Checking
We strive for maximum accuracy in all published content:
• All author biographical data and historical facts used in articles are subject to mandatory cross-verification.
• We use only reliable, authoritative sources and provide links where necessary.
3. Transparency and Partner Relationships
3.1. Content Separation and Disclosure
We guarantee transparency in our relationships with authors and publishers.
• Partner Placement: Any article, roundup, or card placement paid for by an author or publisher will contain a clear disclosure, such as: “Partner Placement” or “Content Provided by Partner.” This ensures that readers understand the nature of the relationship and complies with legal and search engine requirements.
• Links: All external links to third-party resources for purchasing books are either affiliate or commercial links, and we benefit from their placement.
4. Response to Errors and Complaints
4.1. Error Correction
If you discover a factual error or typo in our content, please contact us at editor.number10@gmail.com. We commit to reviewing the request within 72 hours and promptly making the necessary corrections.
4.2. Complaint Procedure
Complaints related to copyright infringement, defamation, or aggressive user behavior should be sent to the email address specified above. We commit to taking action in accordance with our Terms of Service.
5. SEO Traffic Commitment
5.1. Promotion Principle
We commit to using all professional SEO methods available to us (continuous updating, article optimization, traffic purchasing where necessary) to achieve maximum visibility for your content in search engines. Our work is focused on creating a long-term SEO asset that generates targeted traffic over an extended period.
5.2. Why We Do Not Guarantee Specific Traffic Volume
We cannot provide a precise guarantee on the number of visitors, clicks, or sales for the following reasons:
1. Search Engine Algorithms: Search results (SERPs) and traffic volume are entirely dependent on the constantly changing algorithms of Google, Bing, and other systems. We have no direct control over these algorithms.
2. Competitive Environment: Traffic depends on the actions of competitors, global news, and general search trends, which are impossible to predict.
3. User Demand: Ultimately, the number of clicks depends on user demand for a specific book or topic. We can direct readers, but we cannot create demand.
Our Commitment: Our commitment is to make your content as relevant as possible for targeted niche traffic that demonstrates a high interest in purchasing.
