Editorial Policy

Purpose and scope

Science Knowledge Hub publishes educational explanations and historical profiles for general audiences. Our material is not a substitute for original research, formal education, professional medical advice, or engineering and safety guidance.

Source hierarchy

We prefer peer-reviewed papers, official scientific agencies, universities, museums, professional societies, and primary historical records. High-quality reference works may be used for orientation, but important claims should be checked against a stronger source whenever one is available.

Review before publication

• • Confirm names, dates, quotations, units, and mathematical notation.
• • Distinguish consensus findings, emerging research, hypotheses, and opinion.
• • Add a clear byline, publication date, update date, and source links where relevant.
• • Date news explainers to the primary announcement or research publication they cover.
• • Check that images are reusable and that required attribution is visible.

Automation and AI-assisted work

Automated tools may assist with outlining, language cleanup, search, or formatting. They are not treated as an authority. Material must be checked by a human against reliable sources before publication, and automation must not be used to mass-publish pages that add no original educational value.

Corrections and updates

Confirmed factual errors are corrected as soon as practical. Material changes should update the page's review date and, when useful to readers, include a correction note. Minor spelling or formatting fixes may be made without a public note.
