Editorial standards

How publication decisions are made.

Primary-source standard

News and regulatory coverage must link to the underlying government notice, court record, clinical registry, peer-reviewed publication, or comparable authoritative document. Secondary reporting may help identify a topic, but it cannot be the sole published source.

Directory verification

Clinic information must be confirmed on the clinic's own website. Named clinicians require a unique, consistent NPI Registry match. Ambiguous matches are rejected rather than guessed.

Medical claims

Peptide Atlas does not state that a peptide cures, heals, treats, fixes, reverses, or prevents a condition. Research findings must be attributed to their source and described with their regulatory and study limitations.

Reviews and commercial influence

Review summaries require a named platform and the displayed rating figures. Testimonials are never invented. Directory placement is editorial, and no clinic or clinician can pay for ranking or inclusion.

Corrections and re-verification

Material corrections are made transparently. Clinic and clinician records enter a re-verification queue after 90 days, or sooner when a credible correction is received.
