Transparency
Transparency is a crucial element of objective science journalism. We always rely on credible sources, well known in their respective academic communities, and whenever available, add direct links to original research papers.

The content that we produce and the news that we feature is determined by our editorial team. At least two of our editors review every article independently to ensure nothing is overlooked. This includes fact-checking the scientific content, ensuring headline accuracy and tracking down the related reference publication.
