Editorial standards

• Accuracy first. Every substantial scientific claim is linked to a credible source in our source library.
• Show uncertainty. We label whether evidence reflects consensus, strong or moderate evidence, emerging findings, or active debate.
• No invented people or numbers. No fabricated statistics, testimonials, experts, or citations.
• Person-first, non-stigmatizing language.
• Independence. No advertising, sponsorship, affiliate links, or promotion of gambling, alcohol, or treatment businesses.
• Original writing. We summarize research in our own words and link to the original.
