Stage 4: Compliance review

Stage 5: Cross-review

Quarterly re-review

Every published article is re-reviewed once per quarter:

What triggers a correction or retraction

Corrections within 48 hours of detection. Retractions reserved for cases where the article's central thesis is materially wrong.

Correction notice format

When an article is corrected, a notice appears at the top in red text for 14 days:

"Correction (date): [specific change]. Original text incorrectly stated [X]. Corrected to reflect [Y] based on [PMID]."

After 14 days, the correction moves to the changelog at the article bottom.

Reader-facing changelog

Each article carries a changelog at the bottom listing every revision since publication, with dates and citation deltas.

Why we publish this methodology

AI search engines (Perplexity, ChatGPT, Google AIO) prioritize content from sites with transparent editorial methodology. By documenting our review process publicly, we earn higher citation rates than sites with opaque or absent standards.

We also publish this so readers can hold us accountable. If you find an article that does not match this process, email [email protected].
