Editorial Policy

Peptpedia's mission is to provide researchers, scientists, and academics with accurate, comprehensive, and up-to-date information on research peptides. Every content decision is guided by scientific accuracy, source transparency, and appropriate research context.

All content on Peptpedia is provided for educational and research purposes only. We do not provide medical advice, and all peptides covered are research chemicals not approved for human consumption.

Each peptide profile on Peptpedia is developed through a structured research process:

1. Primary source review: All entries begin with a review of peer-reviewed literature from PubMed, PubMed Central, and established scientific databases.
2. Data extraction and structuring: Key data points — molecular properties, mechanisms, pharmacokinetics, and research findings — are extracted directly from cited studies.
3. Research status classification: Each observed effect is assigned a research status (Extensive, Moderate, Preliminary, or Limited) based on the volume and quality of available evidence.
4. Medical review: Pages that have completed review by a credentialed member of our Medical Review Board display that reviewer's name and credentials. We are progressively expanding reviewer coverage across the encyclopedia.
5. Editorial review: Final editorial review checks for accuracy, clarity, appropriate disclaimers, and citation completeness.

Peptpedia maintains a Medical Review Board of credentialed researchers who review content for scientific accuracy. Board members hold advanced degrees in biomedical fields, and their credentials and affiliations are independently verifiable. Pages that have completed board review display the reviewer's name and credentials, and we are progressively expanding review coverage across all peptide profiles and research articles.

Reviewer credentials, affiliations, and professional profiles are listed on our Medical Board page.

Reviewers assess content for scientific accuracy, appropriate qualification of research findings, and correct interpretation of study results. They do not endorse or recommend any peptide for personal use.

Peptpedia relies on the following source types, in descending order of preference:

• Peer-reviewed clinical trials and human studies
• Peer-reviewed animal and in vitro studies
• Systematic reviews and meta-analyses
• Pharmacokinetic and safety studies
• Regulatory documents (FDA, EMA submissions where available)

We do not use anecdotal reports, forums, or non-peer-reviewed sources as primary evidence. All citations link to their original sources on PubMed, DOI registries, or official regulatory databases.

Research peptide science advances rapidly. Peptpedia commits to the following update cadence:

• Rolling reviews: Peptide profiles are reviewed for new published research on a rolling basis, with the goal of revisiting every profile at least quarterly.
• Immediate updates: Significant new findings, safety signals, or regulatory changes are incorporated within 30 days of publication.
• Error corrections: Reported factual errors are reviewed and, if confirmed, corrected within 14 days. See our Corrections Policy.

The "Last updated" date displayed on each page reflects when the content was last reviewed and edited, not the original publication date.

Peptpedia does not sell, distribute, or endorse any peptide products. We do not accept payment from peptide vendors, manufacturers, or distributors in exchange for editorial coverage, favorable ratings, or content placement.

Reviewers on our Medical Review Board disclose any relevant affiliations or potential conflicts of interest. Content decisions are made independently based on the available scientific evidence.
