Frequently asked questions

Where does the research come from?

Research metadata (titles, authors, dates, journals, abstracts) comes from OpenAlex, an open catalog of scholarly works. Every study links to its original source.

Who writes the summaries?

Summaries are generated by AI (Anthropic Claude) from the paper's published abstract and metadata, then checked automatically. Health and medical summaries are reviewed before publication. Summaries are not quotes from the authors.

What do the labels mean?

• Peer-reviewed — verified by our editorial team.
• Journal article — published in a journal; peer review not independently verified.
• Preprint — shared before formal peer review.
• Review / Meta-analysis — summarizes or statistically combines earlier studies.
• Status unknown — we could not verify the status.
