How these research guides are prepared
These pages explain research terminology and how to question a scientific claim. This page sets out their source approach, authorship and limitations so readers can judge them in context.

Who prepares the guides?
The educational guides are published by Manchester Peptides and were drafted with AI assistance. They have not received independent clinical review. Publication does not imply authorship by a clinician, endorsement by a research institution or certification by a laboratory.
How are sources selected?
The introductory guides link to original reference material from organisations such as the World Health Organization, the US National Human Genome Research Institute and the FDA. The sources serve different purposes: a definition, an analytical framework and a description of clinical research are not interchangeable forms of evidence.
Follow the source links and check the original context. A link to an organisation does not mean that it endorses this website or any catalogue material. US regulatory explanations describe the US process and do not establish UK authorisation.
Compound summaries also use the linked original studies, literature reviews and official product or trial information. Sponsor updates are identified as sponsor material, and reviews are distinguished from the experiments they summarise. Regulatory statements specify the country and authorised product where relevant.
How are claims described?
We distinguish what a method measured from an interpretation of that result, and experimental findings from clinical conclusions. Terms such as “studied for” describe a research question; they should not be read as promises of a benefit. Important uncertainty should remain visible.
How are dates and changes handled?
Each guide shows its publication date and, where applicable, an update date. These dates refer to the guide itself. They are not a claim that every cited paper is new, that every claim has been clinically revalidated or that the entire website is continuously reviewed.
What do these guides not establish?
They cannot authenticate a specific sample, verify a laboratory certificate, establish clinical safety or recommend a treatment. Reading a summary is not a substitute for the full report, the original study or professional medical advice.
For practical next steps, use the COA reading checklist and the guide to evaluating research evidence.
