ARGO.net publishes science news and explainers based on public research sources, institutional releases, agency updates, journal material, and other verifiable science documents.
Editorial Mission
Our goal is to make science understandable without exaggerating what a study proves. We aim to explain what researchers found, why it matters, what remains uncertain, and where readers can find the original source.
Human Review
All articles are reviewed before publication by human editors. Editors check the source framing, names, dates, links, quoted material, image credits, category fit, and overall clarity before an article is published.
The people responsible for our editorial standards are listed on the Editorial Team page.
Use of Editorial Tools
ARGO.net uses editorial software and automation tools, including AI-assisted systems, to monitor public science sources, organize research material, support drafting workflows, check links, format source notes, and help with post-publication quality review.
AI tools do not independently write, approve, or publish ARGO.net articles. They do not choose what we cover, make editorial decisions, fabricate quotes, invent sources, or appear as authors. Editorial responsibility rests with ARGO.net and its human editors.
Sources and Attribution
We prefer primary sources when available. These may include research papers, DOI links, university releases, laboratory announcements, space agency updates, public health agency releases, and journal pages.
When we use a secondary science outlet as a lead source, editors look for the underlying study, institution, researcher, or agency behind the story. Source links are included where they help readers verify the work.
Bylines
Science articles may credit a research institution, university, laboratory, agency, company, or named researcher when that source is central to the underlying work. This helps readers identify the origin of the research and follows a common convention used by science news publishers.
Writer or editor credits may also appear when a member of the ARGO.net editorial team writes an original explainer, guide, or analysis piece.
Quotes
Quoted material must come from source documents, named researchers, official releases, interviews, papers, abstracts, or other verifiable material. We do not create quotes or attribute statements to people who did not make them.
Scientific Uncertainty
Early-stage findings, animal studies, cell studies, simulations, preprints, and small studies should be described with appropriate caution. Articles should avoid presenting preliminary findings as settled facts.
Images and Media
Images may come from research institutions, agencies, credited source articles, licensed stock providers, public-domain archives, or free image libraries. Captions and credits are preserved or added when available. If an image credit appears wrong or incomplete, contact [email protected].
Corrections
We correct factual errors when they are identified. Substantive corrections may receive an editor note or update note on the article. See our Corrections Policy for details.
