Sources & Editorial Principles

Each item keeps only what is necessary

Every admissions item shows only: the original title, the source name, the original date, a link to the original, one SAIL-written note, and the necessary category and deadline.

• No automatic copying of full texts or long excerpts
• No images or author photos taken from source sites
• No republishing of paywalled content

Source grades

• Grade A (official): Ministry of Education, CEEC, official admissions bodies, Common App, College Board, EducationUSA, Fulbright Taiwan, government and embassy education units — items may be created automatically; anomalies fall back to human review
• Grade B (education media & platforms): drafts are created automatically and published only after a moderator confirms
• Grade C (forums & personal content): never auto-published; used only as leads for human curation

Where AI may be used

AI may help: write the one-line Chinese note, detect country or region, suggest topic tags, estimate applicable grades, and flag possible deadlines.

• AI may never change or confirm: original titles, eligibility, deadlines, fees, exam rules, visa requirements, or legal and administrative rules
• Until a human confirms a high-risk field, the site shows: "For dates and eligibility, always follow the original official page."

Publishing & review

Moderators may directly publish general announcements, event recaps, daily tips, course introductions, and fully consented submissions; the Admin retains takedown rights.

• Eligibility, deadlines, visa and immigration, legal and lease, finance/tax/credit, and medical/insurance content requires confirmation by the Admin, an advisor, or a relevant professional before publishing
• Identifiable photos of minors and named alumni content are published only after consent is confirmed

Update schedule

The admissions feed checks for updates daily at 07:00 Taipei time; the site shows the last successful update time, not a guaranteed on-the-hour run.
