Editorial Policy

Our commitment to unbiased, evidence-based peptide sourcing research.

Our Mission

WhereToFindPeptides is a research portal dedicated to providing educational information about peptide sourcing, quality assessment, and research methodologies. We are strictly educational - we do not sell peptides, endorse specific suppliers, or accept payment for coverage.

Editorial Independence

Our most important principle:

Editorial Standards

Accuracy & Verification

• All sourcing information is verified through multiple channels
• Quality assessment criteria are based on industry standards
• Claims about testing methods are verified against lab capabilities
• Regulatory information is confirmed with official sources

Source Requirements

• Scientific Standards: USP, EP, and compendial standards
• Testing Information: HPLC, MS, and analytical method documentation
• Regulatory Sources: FDA, DEA, and international agency guidance
• Industry Standards: cGMP, ISO, and quality certifications

Content Creation Process

1. Research Identification: Determine what sourcing questions need answers
2. Information Gathering: Compile educational materials on sourcing practices
3. Verification: Cross-check information with industry standards
4. Content Development: Create clear, educational guides
5. Review: Ensure accuracy and unbiased presentation
6. Publication: Release with appropriate disclaimers

What We Don't Do

• We do not sell or distribute peptides
• We do not recommend specific suppliers or vendors
• We do not accept paid placements or advertising from suppliers
• We do not earn commissions or referral fees
• We do not provide sourcing advice for illegal purposes

How We Discuss Suppliers

When educational content requires discussing sourcing:

• We provide general criteria for evaluating suppliers
• We explain quality indicators (testing, certifications, etc.)
• We describe red flags and warning signs
• We do NOT recommend or endorse specific vendors

Our goal is to educate users on what to look for, not to direct them to specific sources.

Quality Assessment Criteria

When discussing quality evaluation, we focus on:

• Standard analytical testing methods (HPLC, MS)
• Certificate of Analysis (CoA) interpretation
• Manufacturing standards (cGMP compliance)
• Purity and contamination testing
• Storage and handling best practices

Legal & Regulatory Context

We provide educational information about:

• Research chemical regulations
• Import/export restrictions
• Research-use-only classifications
• Applicable laws and compliance requirements

Author Qualifications

Content is created by writers with backgrounds in:

• Analytical chemistry and laboratory science
• Pharmaceutical quality assurance
• Regulatory affairs and compliance
• Scientific research methodologies

Update Cadence

Sourcing information can change as regulations evolve and industry practices develop. We review content quarterly and update when significant changes occur in regulations, testing standards, or quality requirements.

Corrections Policy

If we discover an error or receive credible feedback about inaccuracies:

• We investigate immediately (sourcing accuracy is critical)
• Verified errors are corrected promptly
• Significant corrections are noted on affected pages
• We maintain transparency about changes

AI Assistant Policy

Our AI research assistant:

• Provides educational information based on our knowledge base
• Does not recommend specific suppliers or sources
• Does not provide legal or medical advice
• Maintains the same editorial standards as our written content
