JEPSEN

Ethics Policy Update

2024-07-16

We’ve made some small changes to the Jepsen ethics policy.

The policy used to promise that Jepsen could veto publication if Jepsen and a client could not agree on the content of an analysis. However, this veto has never been used. In fact, Jepsen’s contracts have given Jepsen final approval over the content of analyses since 2016. We replace the promise of a veto with a stronger promise of editorial control.

In light of Jepsen’s multiple authors, we also shift to an organizational third person voice. Finally, we’ve streamlined some language.
