Editorial
How we work
Beckmann is a specialist magazine for artificial intelligence. This page lays out how articles are produced, which rules we work by and how we handle mistakes – in short: what you can hold us to.
Who we write for
Beckmann writes for people who want to use AI at work – not just for specialists. That is why the same rule applies across all sections: clear language instead of jargon, technical terms explained in half a sentence on first mention, and every story answers the one question that matters: what does this mean for your working day? Readers who want to go deeper will find the technical detail in the linked primary sources.
How articles are produced
All articles are developed, written and curated by Brian Beckmann; editorial responsibility lies with him (matching the § 18 (2) MStV notice in the imprint). He builds and runs AI systems himself – analysis and recommendations come from that hands-on practice, not from hearsay.
AI tools assist with research, drafts and translations – the same toolbox this magazine reports on. Before publication, every article is reviewed by a human: facts against the primary sources, conclusions against first-hand experience. Where an article relies on a single source that could not be independently verified, the “Basis” line in the author box says so explicitly.
Sourcing and linking policy
Every article lists its primary sources at the end and links them directly – papers, court decisions, company announcements or original reporting. We link to the original, not to third-party summaries. We label preprints without peer review as such, and we say openly what could not be independently verified.
Corrections
We correct mistakes directly in the article; substantial updates are traceable via the “Updated on” line at the top of the article. If you spot something, tell us via the contact page – we review every report promptly.
Independence and funding
Beckmann is independent: no ads, no affiliate marketing and no sponsored posts. The magazine is privately run and funded by Brian Beckmann. Audience measurement is cookieless by default and collects no personal data; we only use Google Analytics if you explicitly consent via the cookie banner – details and opt-out in the privacy policy.
