Editorial Policy

The research library, glossary and lab tool pages on this site are produced by the Australian Peptide Lab research team. This page explains how that content is made, so you can judge how much weight to give it.

What we write about

We cover the chemistry, analytical testing, laboratory handling and published research literature of research peptides. We write for people running laboratory work, and for anyone evaluating the quality of a research compound.

We do not publish dosing protocols, administration instructions or claims that any compound treats, prevents or cures a condition in people or animals. Every product we sell is a research reagent for in-vitro use only. Where a compound is also an approved medicine, we say so. Questions about your own health belong with a doctor.

How content is sourced

• Every scientific claim is linked to its source, which is normally a peer-reviewed paper indexed in PubMed. We cite primary studies and systematic reviews in preference to secondary summaries.
• Molecular data, such as sequence, formula, molecular weight and CAS number, is checked against PubChem.
• Regulatory statements link to the regulator, for example the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).
• When the evidence is limited, for instance to animal models, small studies or work from a single laboratory, we say so in the text.

How content is written and checked

Drafts are researched and written with the help of software tools, including AI writing assistants. Before publication, every cited reference is checked to confirm that it exists and supports the statement it is attached to. Every molecular specification is checked against its database record. Each page shows the date it was last updated.

Independence

Australian Peptide Lab sells some of the compounds discussed in this library, and product pages link to the relevant guides. That commercial interest is the reason we hold the library to the sourcing rules above. If a study does not support a compound, we report that as well.

Corrections

If you find an error, an outdated source or a claim that the cited paper does not support, email info@australianpeptidelab.com.au. Confirmed errors are corrected promptly, and the page's updated date is changed to show it.
