Fact Check Central is produced by Sense About Science who's main aim to to enable the public to make sense of scientific developments and evidence.
Featuring a lot of health stories, but also covering food and diet, education, policy and the media, the site aggregates stories from blogs and sites that offer scrutiny and high quality analysis of claims and news stories for factual accuracy.
More than that, as Sense About Science say on their blog about the site launch, "fact checking isn't just about separating true from false. Done well, it can give proper context to claims, allow space for deeper understanding, and deflate the rhetoric and bluster that often surrounds controversial issues."
Fact Check Central is a really useful site for getting a balanced, factual view of stories and claims in the media, and in an election year, it could prove very useful indeed...
