Our Editorial Standards

How we build, verify, and maintain peptide research content. Transparency is our trust signal.

Research 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 before they can appear on the site.

Our validation system cross-checks each paper's PubMed ID (PMID) against the live NLM API, comparing titles with a similarity threshold to catch mismatches and ensure every citation traces back to a real, published study. This automated verification runs on every paper import — not once, but every time content is updated.

How We Build Content

1

Peer-Reviewed Sources

Peptide profiles, mechanisms of action, and safety data are compiled exclusively from peer-reviewed journals indexed in PubMed and clinical trial registries.

2

Direct Citations

Every research paper on the site links directly to its PubMed entry or ClinicalTrials.gov record. No dead-end citations — you can always verify the source.

3

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 — not our subjective assessment.

4

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.

Editorial Principles

Evidence-Based

All content is grounded in published research. We cite the 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 and have no financial incentive to promote specific products. Commercial sourcing and vendor discussion is strictly prohibited on our platform.

No Hype, No Fear

We present findings honestly, including limitations, risks, and when evidence is preliminary. If most research is in animal models, we say so clearly.

Accessible Science

Complex pharmacology explained in plain language without oversimplification. Every peptide profile includes mechanisms, safety data, and research context.

Continuously Updated

Content is reviewed and revised as new research is published. Our automated PubMed integration ensures we're always incorporating the latest studies.
