How We Build Content
Transparency in how we source, verify, and organize peptide research.
Citation Verification
Every research paper cited on PeptideWiki is automatically verified against the National Library of Medicine's PubMed database. Papers that cannot be verified are automatically rejected.
Our system cross-checks each paper's PubMed ID (PMID) against the live NLM API, comparing titles with a similarity threshold to catch mismatches. This runs on every paper import and every content update.
Papers by Study Type
Our Process
Peer-Reviewed Sources
Peptide profiles, mechanisms of action, and safety data are compiled from peer-reviewed journals indexed in PubMed and clinical trial registries.
Direct Citations
Every research paper links directly to its PubMed entry or ClinicalTrials.gov record. You can always verify the source yourself.
NLM Study Classification
Study types (Clinical Trial, Meta-Analysis, Animal Study, In Vitro, Review, Case Report) are classified using the National Library of Medicine's own publication type metadata.
Anecdotal Data Labeled
Community experiences are clearly separated from research data and explicitly labeled as anecdotal. We never mix user reports with peer-reviewed evidence.
Our Principles
Evidence-Based
All content is grounded in published research. We cite specific studies behind every claim and label the study type so you know the strength of the evidence.
No Vendor Bias
We don't sell peptides. Commercial sourcing and vendor discussion is prohibited on our platform.
No Hype, No Fear
We present findings honestly, including limitations and when evidence is preliminary. If most research is in animal models, we say so.
Accessible
Complex pharmacology explained in plain language without oversimplification.
Continuously Updated
Content is revised as new research is published. Our automated PubMed integration incorporates the latest studies.
Corrections
If you find an error — an incorrect citation, outdated information, or a factual inaccuracy — email hello@peptidewiki.co with the page URL, the specific error, and a source if available.
