How this site is written

Editorial policy

This page explains how articles on this site are produced, what sources they are checked against, and what a reader should keep in mind while reading them.

AI-assisted content

Articles on this site are drafted with the help of AI writing tools and then checked against mainstream scientific sources before publication. Every effort is made to keep the science accurate, the explanations clear, and the examples correctly described. Even so, mistakes can still slip through, and the checking process is not the same as formal peer review.

Because of this, readers are encouraged to treat this site as a starting point for learning, not as the final word. For any claim that matters to you, especially for schoolwork, teaching, or a decision you plan to act on, please verify it against the primary sources linked from the article, or against another trusted reference.

How articles are sourced

Each article links to a short list of sources at the end, under "Credible sources." These links point to material such as biology textbooks, university course pages, natural history museums, and government or national science bodies. Sources like these are chosen because they summarise settled, mainstream science rather than a single study or a single person's view.

The educational links across the site as a whole point to the same kinds of places: textbooks, scientific institutions, and public science resources, rather than opinion pieces, forums, or unreviewed blogs.

Reporting an error

This site does not yet have a dedicated contact form. If something in an article looks wrong, the fastest way to check it is to open the sources linked at the end of that article and compare the claim directly against them. Corrections are made as part of the site's ongoing review of its own content.
