Editorial standards

How we research, write, review and correct what we publish.

Sources

Every factual claim links to its source, and each source says which claim it supports. We prefer peer-reviewed research, government and institutional data, and established universities. We report findings with their limits: who was studied, when, and whether the research shows a link or a cause.

What we never do

We never invent statistics, quotes, credentials, experts or stories. We never rank experts or accept payment to include anyone. We carry no ads and no sponsored placements.

Review and dates

Each article shows who wrote it, when it was published and when it was last updated. Articles on sensitive subjects such as breakups, loneliness and divorce include crisis resources.

Corrections

If you find an error, email [email protected] with the page address. We review every report, correct confirmed errors promptly, and note significant corrections on the page.
