Science Blog is a small publication. Most articles are published under the Science Blog byline. This page explains what that byline means, how a story gets made, and who answers for it.
Who is responsible
Science Blog is published by Brown Brothers Media Pte. Ltd., a company registered in Singapore (UEN 202022014N), 61 Robinson Road, #07-01, Singapore 068893. The company is responsible for everything published under the Science Blog byline. Corrections and questions about any article go to [email protected], and a person reads and answers every message. Material corrections carry a dated note on the article.
What the Science Blog byline means
The Science Blog byline means the publication, not one named writer, produced the article and stands behind it. We do not invent writers, personas or credentials. When a named person did the reporting or writing, their name is on the article and their profile says who they are. Personal experience and first-person accounts appear only under a real person’s name, never under the Science Blog byline.
How a story is made
- We start from a primary source: a paper, preprint, dataset, trial record or official scientific report. If we cannot find and read the source, we do not publish the story.
- We read what was actually studied: who or what was studied, how many, what it was compared against, and what the authors say the limits are.
- Where it adds something, we contact the researchers or independent experts.
- We write the finding, the method and why it matters, with the source linked near the top.
- Before anything is published, a person reads the full article, checks the headline against the evidence, and checks that every link goes where it says.
How we use AI
We use AI tools to help find, summarise and draft. They do not decide what we publish. A person reads and checks every article against its sources before it is published. Each article says how AI was used on it.
How much we publish
We publish a small number of articles each week. We would rather publish fewer stories that are properly sourced than more that are not.
What changed in 2026
Science Blog has published since 2002 and became part of Brown Brothers Media in June 2026. In November 2026 we reviewed the archive and withdrew a large number of articles that did not meet the standard on this page, including republished institutional material, rewrites of press releases and articles without adequate sourcing. Withdrawn articles show a notice at their original address.
