Transparency and Editorial Practices

This page explains how our introductory guides were prepared, our current review status, and our editorial commitments as the Center develops.

Last updated: September 2026

Current Stage

The Center is developing its first course, proposed standards and future credentialing programs. Published introductory reading guides do not constitute an accredited course or a professional credential.

How These Guides Were Prepared

These introductory guides were drafted with AI assistance using the linked public NIH/NLM and FDA resources. Source links support readers' own checking. Independent subject-matter review has not yet been completed. No scientific advisory board review or external endorsement is claimed.

Editorial Commitments for Future Updates

As the Center's materials develop, we intend to:

  • Distinguish evidence types (laboratory, animal and human research) clearly in published content.
  • Show supporting sources, note uncertainty, and display update dates and the actual review status of each item.
  • Identify confirmed authors and reviewers by name once their work is published.
  • Disclose relevant commercial relationships connected to published content.
  • Correct errors transparently, with a visible record of what changed.

These are commitments describing our intended practice, not proof of a staffed editorial board or an established review history. Checking a source link is not the same as independent scientific review.

Corrections and Questions

Readers can raise a correction or question through our Contact page or by emailing info@peptideliteracycenter.org. Please include the page title, the passage in question and the supporting source you are referencing. We do not promise a specific response deadline or represent that this inbox has been independently tested.

Ownership and Funding

A detailed organizational and funding disclosure for the Center for Peptide Education and Literacy is being prepared and will be published here once confirmed. This gap should not be read as evidence that no commercial relationships exist; it reflects that the disclosure itself has not yet been finalized. For now, the Center's established organizational name and contact route are as published on this site.
