Principles

• Restraint: Avoid amplifying harm through publication choices.
• Clarity: Be explicit about uncertainty, methods, and assumptions.
• Accountability: Correct errors and disclose conflicts promptly.
• Respect: Protect privacy and avoid needless exposure of vulnerable parties.

Decision Framework

Editorial decisions weigh public interest, potential harms, and the availability of verifiable evidence. We do not publish material whose harms clearly outweigh the public value of disclosure.

Conflicts of Interest

Authors and editors disclose relevant conflicts of interest. Disclosures are included in the article metadata and visible to readers to preserve trust and context.
