Editorial Standards

Purpose and independence

PsychedelicSy publishes educational content to help readers understand research, health information, and policy. We do not accept payment to recommend a substance, seller, clinic, treatment, or clinical outcome.

We disclose any material financial, professional, or personal relationship relevant to an article. Editorial decisions remain separate from commercial pressure.

Source selection

Editors prioritize primary research, public agencies, peer-reviewed publications, academic centers, and recognized clinical organizations. We identify source dates when information can change and link directly to the original materials when practical.

Commercial pages, testimonials, and social-media posts may help identify questions for investigation, but they do not independently establish health claims. Editors seek corroboration before presenting consequential assertions as fact.

Evidence and wording

We distinguish association from causation, early findings from established evidence, and research participation from routine treatment. We describe uncertainty directly and avoid guarantees, miracle language, or claims that exceed the cited research.

We do not frame a study, regulatory designation, or public announcement as proof that a treatment has approval or will benefit a particular reader. Regulatory status must be checked with the relevant authority.

Review and updates

Editors check factual claims before publication and revisit time-sensitive pages when authoritative sources change. Material articles display a publication or review date when that information affects a reader’s assessment.

When we confirm a material error, we correct the page and add a note describing the change when appropriate. Corrections should not erase valid criticism or conceal a meaningful change in interpretation.

Reader corrections

Readers can report errors through the Contact page. Include the URL, the exact statement, and credible supporting evidence so editors can investigate.

Clear sourcing and visible corrections build durable trust.
