1. Basic Policy
Editorial Independence
The editorial team minimizes proofreading and content modifications to articles, except for ensuring information accuracy and compliance with this policy. We maximize writers’ freedom to express their thoughts and spirit without adding unintended context to articles.
We believe that diverse perspectives and interpretations deepen essential understanding of science and technology, and we exercise editorial authority cautiously and transparently.
Respect for Diversity
Based on Diversity & Inclusion principles, we protect the dignity of all people regardless of race, gender, religion, or any other attributes. We never publish content that unnecessarily incites disconnection from society or inflammatory material targeting minorities.
We consider technology to be humanity’s common heritage, and believe that the right to benefit from and develop it belongs equally to all people.
Respect for Science and Technology in Human History
Rather than viewing science and technology as mere tools for convenience, we position them as crystallizations of human philosophy, thought, and culture, and as forces that fundamentally transform social structures. We show the utmost respect to the researchers and developers who create these technologies, and to all people living within them.
By embodying the accuracy and neutrality most important to science and technology as a media outlet ourselves, we provide true value to our readers.
2. News Article Policy
News Source Selection Criteria
Modern technology is the product of global collaborative research and represents humanity’s common intellectual property that transcends Japan’s geographical boundaries. Since international technology announcements are primarily made in English, Japanese reporting inevitably experiences time delays. We provide opportunities to stand at the forefront of global technological innovation by delivering cutting-edge global information to Japanese readers as quickly as possible.
In selecting information sources, we prioritize peer-reviewed academic papers, official announcements, reliable technology media, and corporate technical blogs, while strictly excluding information based on rumors or speculation. We also thoroughly understand the context and background of information, adding meaningful interpretation for Japanese readers rather than mere translation.
Generative AI Usage Policy
We select articles based on expertise and readers’ technical interests, writing with deep understanding of current technological circumstances and background. While we position the use of generative AI in proofreading and research collection as tools to accelerate human productivity, writers bear full responsibility for information dissemination in published articles.
Our media’s mission is to show future prospects from technology’s current position. We consider it inappropriate for those of us living in the age of reason to subordinate the cultural act of interpreting humanity’s science and technology history and weaving it into human history to AI. AI must remain a tool, while humans must always be the agents of thought and judgment.
3. Review Articles
Based on the philosophy of “Tech for Human Evolution,” we introduce contemporary technologies that can transform humanity’s future way of living and the world’s state. We ensure that writers actually confirm the user experience and only report on products they have personally handled.
Writers themselves are users, and tools remain tools. The agent that decides how to use them is human. Therefore, in review articles, we particularly propose usage methods not anticipated by manufacturers and write with the cooperation of writers with knowledge across multiple fields to create new value from products.
Even when receiving product provision, we strictly ensure neutrality and prioritize reader interests in our evaluations. Our evaluation criteria are based on the perspective of how much products contribute to human evolution.
4. Interview and Coverage Articles
Based on the same philosophy as the previous section, we conduct interviews and coverage of companies and individuals in the technology field. Science and technology are human culture and intellectual heritage that has been continuously woven for tens of thousands of years. They contain wishes, prospects, and thoughts about the world, and we consider it our mission to carefully introduce these.
We always write articles based on this perspective. We are both conveyors of technology and compilers of new history. This reflects writers’ views on technology, science, and philosophy, and based on this foundation, we accurately convey our current position. Rather than mere information listing, we contemplate with readers the meaning and value of science and technology in human history.
5. Conclusion
Under the philosophy of “Tech for Human Evolution,” innovaTopia views technology as a catalyst for human evolution and explores together with readers the philosophy and possibilities that lie in its depths. We are not mere information providers but are deeply aware of our responsibility living in this era as inheritors of humanity’s intellectual heritage and witnesses to new history.
The present is undoubtedly a historical turning point. The technological innovations we witness and experience will be recorded by future generations as important chapters in human history. As recorders of this, we approach our work with the highest standards of intellectual honesty, ethical responsibility, and insight into the future.
Science and technology are crystallizations of human wisdom, and understanding and conveying them is directly connected to our own raison d’être. With the resolve to weave the continuation of this grand human story together with our readers, we will continue to convey to the world the true value that technology brings—the expansion of humanity and spiritual evolution that transcends mere convenience.
This Editorial Policy was formulated based on our sense of mission to contribute to humanity’s intellectual progress and deep respect for our readers. We pledge to always return to this origin and fulfill our social responsibility as a media outlet.
