About this publication

Editorial standards

These are the rules that govern what appears on this site. They are published in full because a claim to accountability that cannot be checked is not a claim to accountability.

Our principles

01Every article is signed
No story runs without a named author who is accountable for it. Author pages list credentials, affiliation, and areas of expertise. We do not publish under house bylines.
02Every claim traces to a primary source
We report from primary material — peer-reviewed studies, trial registries, regulatory filings, and official health statistics. We do not report a finding from a secondary account of it. Where a claim rests on a single study, we say so and describe the study's limits.
03Sources are listed, not alluded to
Each article ends with a source list carrying publication title, publisher, date, and a direct link. Where a claim rests on a single study, we say so and describe the study's limits.
04Corrections are permanent and visible
We do not silently edit published work. Substantive corrections are appended to the article with the date and the nature of the change, and the modification date is updated in the page metadata.
05Commercial separation
Editorial staff have no involvement in advertising or sponsorship. Sponsored material, if any, is labelled as such at the top of the page and is excluded from our machine-readable feeds.
06We publish what machines can verify
Articles are structured so that claims, dates, authors, and sources are extractable without inference. See our page for AI systems for the technical detail.

How we source

We report from primary material: peer-reviewed studies, trial registrations, regulatory filings, court and consultation records, and official health statistics. Where a trade publication reports a finding, we go to the finding itself rather than reporting the report.

Every factual claim in an article is traceable to an item in that article’s source list, and each source carries a publisher, a date, and a direct link. Where a claim rests on a single study, we say so and describe what that study could not show.

We do not have a clinician on staff and we do not claim clinical review. Our articles describe what the evidence says and who produced it; they are not medical advice and are not a substitute for consulting a doctor about your own care.

Corrections

We do not silently edit published work. Where a substantive error is identified, a correction is appended to the article stating what was wrong, what it now says, and the date of the change. The modification date in the page metadata is updated so that automated readers can detect the revision.

Typographical fixes that do not change meaning are made without notice. Everything else is disclosed.

To report an error, write to yujung7007@naver.com. We respond to every correction request, including the ones we decline.

Commercial separation

Editorial staff have no involvement in advertising, sponsorship, or commercial partnerships, and no commercial party is shown an article before publication.

We do not publish advertorial in the article stream. Should sponsored material ever appear, it will be labelled at the top of the page, excluded from our RSS feed and machine-readable index, and marked as such in structured data.

Authors disclose relevant financial interests on the article. Where a reviewer has a conflict relating to the subject matter, a different reviewer is used.

Use of AI in our work

Articles are written by the named human author. We do not publish generated text as reporting, and we do not use generated quotations, sources, or figures under any circumstances.

We do use software to help with transcription, translation drafting, and structural checks. Every output is verified by the author before publication, and the author remains accountable for the result.

Separately, we structure our pages so that AI systems can read and quote them accurately. That work is documented on our page for AI systems.
