Editorial Policy

Why Science Daily publishes original educational explanations for general readers. Accuracy, usefulness, transparency, and reader safety take priority over publishing volume.

The site is designed for readers who want a plain-English explanation of everyday science, not professional medical, legal, financial, or emergency advice. When a topic could be mistaken for personal advice, the article is reviewed more conservatively, narrowed to general science, or held back from publication.

Source Standard

Substantive claims must be supported by topic-specific pages from scientific agencies, universities, professional organizations, textbooks, or peer-reviewed research. A link to an institution’s homepage is not treated as adequate support.

Articles should cite the page that directly supports the claim being made. If a source cannot be reached, does not match the topic, or only supports a broad background point, the article is revised before publication.

Creation and Review

AI may assist with research organization, drafting, editing, and original educational visuals. Before publication, automated checks verify article depth, source URLs, duplicate topics, unsafe wording, image rights notes, and WordPress rendering. An article is held when those checks fail.

Automated tools can still make mistakes. The editorial team remains responsible for published material and reviews reported errors.

The review process also checks whether a new article repeats section structures, sentence patterns, examples, or image concepts from earlier articles. Repeated template writing is treated as a quality problem, even when the facts are correct.

Corrections

Readers may report errors to whysciencekr@gmail.com. Material may be corrected, clarified, or removed when the evidence does not support it.

Corrections are prioritized when they affect the central explanation, source accuracy, reader safety, or the distinction between general education and personal advice. Minor wording improvements may be made without changing the article’s main conclusion.

Independence and Advertising

Advertising does not determine article conclusions. Sponsored or affiliate material, if introduced in the future, will be identified clearly and will not be presented as independent scientific evidence.

Images and layout are produced to support the explanation, not to imitate advertisements or encourage accidental ad clicks. Ads, when shown, must remain visually distinct from editorial material.
