Common questions

What contributors should expect

Will my story publish right away?

No. An editor checks originality, reader value, sourcing, conflicts, and factual claims before a decision is made.

Will I receive author credit?

Accepted work can carry your chosen credit name and approved profile link. An editor can correct the display credit in the private queue.

Can I send a review without lab tests?

Yes, if you clearly describe first-hand use and do not claim measurements you did not make. Everyday experience can be useful when its limits are clear.

Can a company submit news?

Representatives may send a verifiable tip or announcement, but must disclose who they work for. Promotional copy is not published as independent reporting.
