Editorial Guidelines

The editorial rules used to review, prepare, and publish science content.

Accuracy First

Every article should distinguish evidence from interpretation, avoid overstated claims, and explain uncertainty where it matters. Claims about health, safety, climate, or public policy require especially careful sourcing and context.

Sources and Attribution

Authors should cite primary literature, reputable reviews, datasets, preprints, institutional releases, or other reliable sources. Quotes, images, figures, and adapted material must be attributed and used with permission where required.

Conflicts and Funding

Authors should disclose relevant funding, affiliations, commercial relationships, or personal interests that could influence how readers interpret the work.

Review and Corrections

Submissions may be edited for clarity, structure, style, and scientific accuracy. Material errors are corrected promptly when identified, with updates made transparently when they affect reader understanding.

Originality and Responsible Use

Submissions must be original or properly licensed. AI-assisted writing, analysis, or image generation should be checked by the author and disclosed when it materially shapes the work.
