Scope of application

The Scientific Method of LIFE Science Tube applies to:

  • nutrition and health articles
  • science communication content
  • videos, infographics and informational materials
  • scientific collaborations
  • editorial content subject to review

Fundamental principles

The scientific method of LIFE Science Tube is based on five pillars:

  • Scientific evidence
  • Verifiability of sources
  • Transparency
  • Editorial independence

  • official guidelines from recognized bodies
  • public health documents
  • meta-analyses and systematic reviews
  • accredited scientific literature

When possible, preference is given to sources from:

  • international scientific journals
  • public institutions
  • research institutions and universities

Sources are always citable, verifiable and consultable.

Critical analysis of the evidence

LIFE Science Tube does not limit itself to reporting scientific results, but critically evaluates them:

  • methodological quality
  • consistency with the scientific consensus
  • limitations of the study
  • applicability in real-world practice

Any form of excessive simplification or improper generalization of the results is avoided.

Language and science communication

One of the main objectives of LIFE Science Tube is to make science understandable without distorting it. For this reason:

  • the language is clear but precise
  • technical terms are explained
  • conclusions are contextualized
  • the limitations of the evidence are stated

Scientific communication must never turn into slogans, promises, or promotional messages.

  • methodological supervision
  • assessment of the most sensitive content
  • support in scientific verification
  • definition of editorial guidelines

The Committee contributes to ensuring coherence, quality and reliability of the information published.

Content update

Science is constantly evolving.For this LIFE Blog:

  • periodically updates articles
  • integrates new scientific evidence
  • reviews content in light of new studies
  • reports any relevant updates

The objective is to provide current, reliable and consistent information over time.

Scientific method and public health

LIFE Science Tube considers science communication an integral part of protecting public health. Accurate information:

  • promotes prevention
  • reduces misinformation
  • supports informed decisions
  • strengthens trust in science

Final note

The scientific method adopted by LIFE Science Tube is subject to continuous review, in line with the evolution of scientific research, international guidelines and best practices in health communication.

Guiding principles
