Editorial policy and research standards

We aim to make relationship content useful to people while keeping sources, limitations, and update responsibility visible.

Source hierarchy

Claims about research should prioritize peer-reviewed papers, academic institutions, original researcher publications, and public guidance from professional organizations. Secondary articles may help locate a source but do not replace it. Advice that is not directly supported by research is labeled and written as practical communication guidance rather than a scientific finding.

  • Citations should identify an author, year, and source
  • We do not use fabricated papers, experts, or statistics
  • Any inference from research to practical advice should be made explicit

Writing, AI assistance, and human review

Automation may assist with organizing, translating, and rewriting content, but publishing accountability remains with the LCP content operations team. Before publication, content should be checked for language consistency, traceable citations, privacy risk, explicit or harmful phrasing, and practical clarity. AI-generated text is not itself a source.

Updates and corrections

Content may be updated for new research, reader feedback, search intent, and product changes. Material changes should update the page date and retain version evidence. Incorrect citations, locale mismatches, or high-risk advice should be corrected or unpublished promptly.

Safety boundary

The wiki is not medical care, psychotherapy, legal advice, or crisis support. Violence, coercion, minors, non-consensual sexual activity, self-harm, or immediate danger should not be handled as an ordinary communication-script problem; seek appropriate local professional or emergency support.
