Editorial Standards

This page explains how articles on Life Learning Journey are researched, written, reviewed and corrected. We want you to know exactly what you are reading and how much weight to give it.

How articles are written

Our articles are written with the help of AI drafting tools and then reviewed and edited by the Life Learning Journey editorial team. We are open about this because we think readers deserve to know. AI assistance helps us organise information and produce clear first drafts; it does not replace editorial judgement.

Every article is checked by a person before publication. The review covers accuracy, clarity, whether the advice is practical and safe, and whether claims are supported.

Research and sources

• Claims about learning, memory and habit formation are based on published research, established textbooks or reputable educational organisations wherever possible.
• Where we rely on a specific study or source, we cite or link to it so you can check it yourself.
• When the evidence is mixed or limited, we say so rather than presenting a single finding as settled fact.
• We prefer free and openly accessible sources so that readers can follow up without a paywall.

What we do not do

• We do not invent experts, quotes, credentials, testimonials or personal anecdotes.
• We do not present the editorial team as doctors, psychologists or licensed professionals. Our content is general educational information, not medical, psychological or professional advice.
• We do not accept payment to include products or services in our articles. If that ever changes, any sponsored or affiliate content will be clearly labelled.

Updates and corrections

Articles show both the date they were first published and the date they were last updated. We revisit guides when better information becomes available. If you spot an error, please email [email protected]. We review every correction request and update the article when the correction is valid.

Health and wellbeing topics

Some articles touch on sleep, stress, attention or ageing. These are written for general understanding only. If you have concerns about memory, mental health or a medical condition, please speak to a qualified professional.
