Editorial
Editorial standards
How Cibdol researches, writes and reviews every article: evidence-led sourcing, verified citations, and scientific review by a named PhD researcher before anything is published.
How we write
Our principles
Research-first
Every Cibdol article starts from primary sources: peer-reviewed literature, regulatory bodies such as EFSA and the European Commission, and established scientific references. We do not build claims from forum threads, vendor blogs or unverified social content.
Named authors
No anonymous bylines. Every wiki and blog article is authored by a named category specialist with direct retail or subject-matter experience.
External review
Every Cibdol article starts from primary sources: peer-reviewed literature, regulatory bodies such as EFSA and the European Commission, and established scientific references. We do not build claims from forum threads, vendor blogs or unverified social content.
Citation discipline
Before publication, every reference in a Cibdol article passes a citation-verification gate: each source is checked directly against Crossref and PubMed to confirm it exists, says what the article claims it says, and is correctly attributed. Nothing ships with an unverified citation.
AI-assisted, human-owned
Some Cibdol content is drafted with AI assistance to speed up research and structure. Every draft is human-verified: reviewed, edited and fact-checked by a named human author, then scientifically reviewed by Dr. Arno Hazekamp before publication. AI is never used to write product reviews, customer testimonials or personal-experience content.
Independence
Cibdol sells the products it writes about, so we hold a firm line: editorial content is never shaped by what sells. We do not make medical claims: our articles describe research and typical use, not diagnosis, treatment or cure, and every page carries a clear not-medical-advice disclaimer. Commercial priorities do not influence what we publish or how we describe the evidence.
Governance & review cadence
YMYL review
Health and safety claims are reviewed by Dr. Arno Hazekamp, PhD cannabis researcher, before publication. Nothing goes live without sign-off when claims could affect wellbeing or compliance.
Update cadence
Every wiki article carries a 'Last reviewed' date. Articles are re-checked at least every 12 months, or immediately when regulation, science or product availability changes materially.
Corrections
