We report on research reviewed elsewhere; we do not peer review anything ourselves. Each piece links the paper (by DOI where there is one) and says plainly whether it has passed peer review at a journal or conference, is a preprint not yet reviewed, or is a funded research project. Summaries are drafted with AI tools from the paper or its abstract, checked against the source by a separate AI fact-checking step, and spot-checked by one responsible editor, as described in the editorial policy. Researchers who spot an error, or want their published work considered, can write to us.
