Editorial and sources policy
How we write, check, review and update the content on this site — and how you can ask for a correction.
Updated .
1. Principles
- We only publish what can be checked. Every factual statement has a linked source.
- We separate three things: what the law says (with the article), what is still unknown, and what is only a precedent. A precedent is not a prediction.
- No “official questions”. No official bank has been published. We never claim to know “the questions that will come up” or promise a pass.
- No legal advice. We explain the law in general terms and never assess individual cases.
2. How we write questions
- Questions are original and cover the topics of Art. 6(1)(c) and (d) of the Nationality Law: history, culture, national symbols, fundamental rights and duties, and political organisation.
- Each question has an explanation and at least one source. We try to avoid trick questions and correct answers that stand out just because they are longer.
- We do not copy questions from other websites, books or apps.
3. Sources we use (in order of preference)
- Official texts: the Diário da República (for example Organic Law 1/2026), the Constitution on the Parliament website, and consolidated legislation from public sources.
- Official and international bodies: for example UNESCO or the organisation behind a prize.
- Reference works: for example Encyclopaedia Britannica or Infopédia.
- Wikipedia and the press: only as a complement or for dated news (such as the regulation status), never as the only source for a point of law.
4. Use of artificial intelligence
We use AI tools to help research and draft texts and questions. AI is never a source: every published statement needs a cited source, and we check law quotes against the official text before publishing.
5. Review
- Source check: done before each page or question is published.
- Native European Portuguese review: every question goes through it before the full bank launches. Until then, each new question is marked “review pending” in the question file itself.
- We do not name outside reviewers or experts who do not exist. If a lawyer ever reviews a page, their name and the date will be shown.
6. Updates
- Every page shows the date it was last updated.
- The status page keeps a dated changelog on the regulation.
- When the regulation is published, we will review every page and remap the questions to the official format.
- Facts that change over time (for example the number of MPs, constitutional revisions, prizes) are re-checked periodically.
7. Corrections
Found a mistake? Email [email protected] with the page or question and, if you can, a source. We fix factual errors as soon as they are confirmed. Relevant changes about the regulation are logged in the status page changelog.
