Editorial policy

Every report in The Peptide Gazette is built on at least one dated primary document, and the document is linked from the report. There is no second kind of story.

The current file holds 34 records, retrieved on 13 October 2026, carrying 30 reports. That retrieval date is printed on every page. A record can change after it is retrieved; where the Gazette states a status, it is the status the record carried on that date and the page says so.

What a report may say

A report states what the document says and states facts about the document: its date, its type, the body that issued it, its identifier. It does not characterise the document, predict its consequences, or describe it as significant, welcome or unexpected.

Headlines are the Gazette’s own wording and are written to describe the document, not to sell it. Wording taken from a record — a document title, an abstract, the reason given on a recall — is quoted and marked as the issuing body’s wording, never presented as the Gazette’s.

No report quotes a person. Nobody is contacted, nobody is interviewed, and no statement is solicited. A document that itself contains a statement is linked, and the reader reads it there.

Datelines

The place in a dateline is the location of the body that issued the document: Washington for the Federal Register, Silver Spring for the FDA enforcement file, Bethesda for the public trial registry. It is not a claim that anyone was there. The Gazette files from no location. The date in a dateline is the document’s own date, never the date the page was generated.

Clinical evidence

This is a regulatory and business paper. No page on it presents a compound’s clinical evidence, and every page declares none. A registry record states what a sponsor has registered and what state the entry is in; it reports no result, and the Gazette does not treat a status change as a finding.

Corrections

A report is wrong if it does not match the document it links. When that happens the report is corrected against the document and the correction is stated in the report. An upstream record that changes is not a correction: the Gazette republishes from a fresh retrieval and the new retrieval date appears on every page.

Advertising and sponsorship

This site carries sponsored links. A sponsored placement is paid for and does not constitute a recommendation, a ranking or an endorsement of any supplier. No payment decides which documents are reported, how a report is worded, or the order of anything on a page, and no placement appears inside a Source documents block.

Selection is the point of a trade paper, so it is the thing payment may never reach. No advertiser sees a report before it is published, and no advertiser is told which documents are on the file.
