Editorial transparency

Make the reasoning visible.

Trust depends on being clear about what we know, how we know it and where our interests lie.

Publications and review

Knowledge entries identify their question, sources, limitations and review status. An editorial synthesis is not a peer-reviewed study. A named external review is claimed only when completed and authorised.

Preparation and responsibility

AI tools may assist drafting, translation, organisation and source discovery. They do not create independent evidence or replace checking original sources. The publisher remains responsible for the material released.

Corrections

Report an error through the contact page, identifying the claim, original source and proposed correction. Material revisions should record the date, reason and affected conclusion. Unsupported claims may be amended or withdrawn.

Commercial interests

Project fees, sales commissions and funding relationships must be disclosed where relevant. Our own assessment is not independent when Aelzia benefits from adoption. Technical claims need competent scrutiny appropriate to their consequences.

People, companies and private research

A research lead is not a client. A citation does not make a scientist an adviser. Private contact directories, confidential records and unverified allegations do not belong in the public Knowledge library.
