How Research Notes are written and checked.

Research Notes exist to make the published literature easier to read accurately. These are the rules every note follows before it is published, and every time it is reviewed.

  1. 01

    Sources come first

    Notes are drafted from primary and review literature indexed in PubMed and from public trial registries such as ClinicalTrials.gov. A note may only state what its listed sources report, and every source is linked so you can read it yourself.

  2. 02

    Every citation is verified

    Before a note is published, each cited PubMed record is looked up automatically and its title is matched against the citation. Figures in the text must appear in the cited source. A note that fails any check is held back and not published.

  3. 03

    The model is always named

    Findings are labelled by the system they come from — cell culture, animal model, structural study, review or human study — because a result in one model is not a result in another. Each note separates what the research establishes from what it does not.

  4. 04

    Research use only, in every line

    Notes describe research areas, study designs and receptor pharmacology. They never give use instructions or amounts, never describe outcomes in people, and never make benefit claims. A compliance review runs on every note in both languages before publication.

  5. 05

    Dated and reviewed

    Every note shows when it was first published and when it was last reviewed. Notes are re-checked against newly indexed literature and updated when the evidence changes; changes are listed in each note's revision history.

  6. 06

    Written with AI assistance

    Notes are drafted with the help of AI language models working only from the retrieved sources, then run through the automated citation and compliance checks above. Our editorial team owns every note and its corrections.

  7. 07

    Corrections

    If you find an error, write to support@aloraresearch.com with the note and the source. We reply within 2 business days, correct confirmed errors promptly and record the correction in the revision history.
