Tekorina Review operates under a defined editorial methodology. This page documents the procedures applied to every article — from research identification through peer review to publication and subsequent correction handling. Transparency in methodology is a condition of editorial credibility.
Tekorina Review operates under the following editorial principles: articles are reviewed by at least one second editor before publication, sources are cited where appropriate, corrections are noted publicly, and writers disclose any commercial relationships that could influence their selection of subject matter.
Article topics emerge from one of three channels: editor-initiated coverage of documented research developments in nutritional science; reader enquiries raising questions that fall within the publication's editorial scope; or identification of specific gaps between public understanding and the current evidence base on food and weight topics.
Once a topic is identified, the commissioned writer undertakes a source scoping exercise to identify relevant peer-reviewed research, published reviews, and meta-analyses. The initial source pool is shared with the editorial desk before writing begins. Topics for which adequate published research cannot be identified are not commissioned.
The commissioned writer produces a full draft incorporating the identified research sources. The draft is submitted to the editorial desk with a source annotation document indicating which published works inform each substantive claim. Claims presented without a documented research basis are flagged for revision or removal at this stage.
The editorial desk reviews the draft for accuracy of evidence representation, proportionality of claim relative to the strength of the underlying research, and compliance with the publication's stop-word and tone standards. Revisions are returned to the writer with specific annotations.
Every article that passes the initial editorial review is assigned to a second editor who has not been involved in the commissioning or first-stage review. The second editor evaluates the article independently, with particular attention to whether the final text accurately reflects the evidence it cites and whether any claim could be reasonably read as exceeding what the cited research supports.
The second editor also checks that the article does not use vocabulary that implies a qualified professional's assessment, assessment capacity, or specific advice relationship with the reader. Articles with unresolved second-review concerns are held from publication pending revision.
Before publication, the writer submits a completed disclosure statement indicating any commercial relationships, speaking arrangements, or consultancy positions that relate to the subject matter of the article. This disclosure is retained on file.
Where a material conflict is identified — that is, where the commercial relationship could plausibly influence the article's conclusions — the article is either declined or the conflict is noted prominently in the published piece. The publication's independence from food product and supplement advertising removes the most common source of structural conflict.
Published articles carry a publication date. Where an article is subsequently updated to reflect new research or correct an error, the revised date is noted alongside the original publication date. The nature of any substantive revision is described in a correction notice appended to the article.
Silent revisions — changes to published content without an accompanying correction notice — are not practised at Tekorina Review. The version of record is the most recently corrected version, and the correction history is available on request.
Reader-submitted corrections are reviewed by the editorial desk within five working days of receipt. Where a correction relates to a factual error, the relevant source material is re-examined. Where the reader's correction is verified, the article is updated and a correction notice appended.
Where the correction relates to an interpretation of evidence rather than a verifiable factual error, the editorial desk may add a contextual note to the article indicating the alternative interpretation and directing readers to the relevant research for independent assessment. Corrections that are not verified are declined with a written explanation to the reader who submitted them.
Not all published research is weighted equally. Tekorina Review applies a proportionality standard when representing nutritional evidence: the strength of the editorial claim reflects the strength of the underlying research, not the desired conclusion.
Systematic reviews and meta-analyses of randomised controlled trials occupy the highest position in the evaluation hierarchy. Large prospective cohort studies with long follow-up periods are assigned significant weight. Single observational studies, particularly those with small sample sizes or short durations, are described as preliminary or indicative rather than conclusive.
Animal study findings and in vitro research are noted where relevant for understanding biological mechanisms, but are not cited as evidence for effects in human populations. This distinction is applied consistently across all published content.
