Editorial standards

Purpose and scope

ProteinIQ publishes educational guides, product documentation, company news, and research evidence summaries. Content is written to help researchers understand methods and make informed workflow decisions; it is not medical advice or a substitute for independent scientific validation.

Evidence hierarchy

• Primary papers, official project documentation, standards, and first-party release notes are preferred for factual and technical claims.
• Reported benchmark results are attributed to the team or paper that reported them. We do not present a vendor benchmark as independent validation.
• Secondary sources may provide context, but material scientific claims should trace to a primary source where one is available.
• Commercial, preprint, and peer-reviewed evidence are identified so readers can weigh them appropriately.

Authorship and review

Named authors are responsible for the accuracy and clarity of their articles. Author pages describe relevant background and link stable external identity profiles. Substantive scientific articles are reviewed for source quality, claim-to-source fit, limitations, and date accuracy before publication.

Dates and material updates

Every article has a publication date. A reviewed or updated date is shown only when the page receives a meaningful factual, methodological, or editorial review. Cosmetic changes do not justify changing the reviewed date.

Conflicts and commercial context

ProteinIQ articles may discuss tools available on ProteinIQ. That relationship is stated through links and product context, while scientific claims remain tied to external evidence. Sponsored content, if introduced, will be clearly labeled and will not purchase favorable conclusions.
