Topic selection
We choose stories by scientific strength, public importance, novelty, usefulness and connection to active research. A story can be news, explanation, review or analysis, but it must make the evidence clearer.
Story forms
News reports explain what changed. Analysis connects evidence to consequences. Opinion is labelled and argued from disclosed reasoning. Explainers define concepts and methods. Reviews assess books, documentaries, tools and public science products. Profiles examine people, labs, missions and institutions. Investigations follow documents, data and repeated claims.
Sources
We prefer peer-reviewed papers, preprints with clear status, institutional documents, public datasets, mission logs, regulatory filings and named expert comment. Claims are linked to origin and updated when new evidence changes the context.
Corrections and updates
When a material fact changes, we update the story and mark the change inside the article. When a factual error is confirmed, we correct it in the text and preserve a concise correction note.
Source-note pattern
What appears inside major articles
Major explainers and reviews include a source-note paragraph naming the evidence base: paper, dataset, mission page, archive record, regulator file, expert correspondence or institutional document.
