1. What are these reviews, and how are they produced?

These are in-depth, independently written literature reviews and analytical commentaries on topics in lung health, general medicine, public health, and psychiatry/psychology. They are based on rigorous evaluation of recent peer-reviewed research and authoritative sources, and are written to stringent academic standards.

2. Who are these reviews intended for?

These reviews are intended for researchers, healthcare professionals, students, policy analysts, science communicators, and institutions seeking concise, high-quality summaries and analyses of recent developments in relevant fields. They may be particularly useful for those with limited time to conduct their own reviews or for use in educational, editorial or policy contexts.

3. Are the reviews peer-reviewed or published in journals?

No. These are non-commissioned, independently produced reviews. While they are not peer-reviewed in the conventional journal sense, they are held to high editorial standards and based on critical engagement with the scientific literature.

4. What is the format and length of each review?

Each review varies depending on the topic, but typically ranges from 8,000 to 10,000 words. The format generally includes an abstract, key findings, background/context, methodological notes (if relevant), critical discussion, actionable interventions and a list of sources consulted.

5. How frequently are new reviews published?

Reviews are published on a rolling basis, depending on the relevance of current topics, the availability of new research, and editorial capacity. You can subscribe to updates or check the website regularly for new content. Specialists and experts are encouraged to contribute with reviews on the specialty area of interest.

6. Can I request a custom or commissioned review?

Yes. While the primary focus is on non-commissioned reviews, commissioned work is available on request. Please use the contact form to describe your needs, intended use, and deadlines.

7. Are references included?

Yes. Each review includes properly formatted references to all cited literature, typically following APA or Vancouver style (depending on the field). Where possible, DOIs or stable links are provided.

8. Can I use these reviews for teaching or internal research purposes?

Yes. Reviews can be used for educational and internal research purposes, provided they are not redistributed commercially without prior permission. Please see the terms of use for full licensing details.

9. What rights do I acquire when purchasing a review?

Purchase grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the review for personal, institutional, or non-commercial purposes. Redistribution, reproduction, or publication (in full or in part) for commercial gain without written consent is prohibited.

10. Do you offer bulk or institutional licensing?

Yes. Discounts and custom licensing terms are available for institutions, libraries, research groups, or organisations purchasing multiple reviews or requesting ongoing access. Please contact us directly to discuss terms.

11. Are translations available?

Yes, reviews are available in French or Spanish on request and custom translations in Italian and Portuguese can also be ordered. To note, reviews generally take into account English, French and Spanish sources.

12. Can I cite these reviews in my own research?

Yes, provided proper attribution is given. As these are not journal-published reviews, they should be cited as independent scholarly outputs (e.g., Author Name, Title, Website Name, Year). A suggested citation format and doi are provided with each review.
