Editorial Standards
The rules that keep WhichPeps useful when the subject is noisy, commercial and often overclaimed.
Sid Hussain is responsible for the WhichPeps publication. Software can assist with source discovery, identifier matching, formatting and consistency checks, but material scientific wording is reviewed before publication. WhichPeps does not imply an independent clinician or scientific review board unless a named reviewer has genuinely reviewed that specific material.
Editorial principles
Primary sources first
Use original research, regulatory documents and trial records where practical instead of repeating marketing copy.
Negative findings stay visible
Null or conflicting outcomes are part of the evidence picture and should not disappear from summaries.
Claims need traceable support
Technical claims should be attributable to an underlying evidence record or clearly labelled as uncertain.
AI assists, it does not invent evidence
Automated tools can help organise or explain records, but unsupported claims should not be generated to fill gaps.
Corrections are public
Material corrections and evidence-status changes should be traceable rather than silently rewritten.
No cherry-picking
When multiple relevant studies exist, WhichPeps includes evidence that strengthens, weakens or complicates a claim. The goal is an accurate evidence picture, not a favourable story.
