Documenting the Editorial Process

Felnora Review operates under a defined editorial process. The following pages set out how articles are commissioned, reviewed, fact-checked, and published — and what standards govern the selection of source material.

— Editorial Principles

The Foundation of the Publication

Felnora Review operates under the following editorial principles: articles are reviewed by at least one second editor before publication, sources are cited where appropriate, corrections are noted publicly, and writers disclose any commercial relationships that could influence their selection of subject matter.

Articles published on Felnora Review are editorial in nature and reflect the writers' observations on everyday wellness practices. The content is not intended as professional advice, nor as guidance for the management of any specific condition. Readers with specific concerns about their daily routines are encouraged to speak with a qualified wellness professional.

Felnora Review is an independent editorial publication focused on everyday wellness practices. The publication is not affiliated with any commercial, governmental, or institutional body.

— Publication Process
01

Commission and Brief

Each article begins with a commissioning brief. The brief establishes the angle, the target word count, the primary sources to be consulted, and the editorial framing relative to the publication's focus on food behaviour and eating awareness.

02

Source Review

Writers are required to identify and cross-reference primary sources before drafting begins. Preference is given to peer-reviewed research, published behavioural studies, and documented population observations. All cited sources are logged in the editorial record.

03

Second Edit

Every submitted draft passes through a second editor who reviews the piece independently for accuracy, tone, and factual consistency. The second editor has no involvement in the original commission and may return the piece for revision or recommend reassignment.

04

Publication and Record

Approved articles are published with full author attribution, publication date, and, where applicable, a disclosure note. A version record is maintained internally. Post-publication corrections are appended to the article itself, with date and a brief note of what was changed.

— Source Standards
Peer-Reviewed Research

Published studies from indexed academic journals are the preferred primary source for any factual claim about eating behaviour, hunger signalling, or food and mood connection. When citing research, writers note the study design, sample size where relevant, and any limitations acknowledged by the authors. Content published by Felnora Review is selected based on published nutritional research and undergoes independent batch verification for quality and labelling accuracy.

Registered Bodies

Where an article references guidance from a registered professional or institutional body — such as a national nutrition council, a public health authority, or a recognised professional association — the body is identified by name and the guidance is quoted or paraphrased accurately. Felnora Review does not substitute this type of reference for the editorial voice; it supplements it.

Observational Evidence

Some articles draw on documented observational patterns — eating diaries, population-level food surveys, or first-person accounts reviewed by the editorial team. These are presented as observations, not as generalisable conclusions. The distinction between documented observation and established finding is maintained throughout the editorial voice and consistently applied across the publication.

— Correction Policy

Errors and Post-Publication Amendments

Factual inaccuracies identified after publication are taken seriously. A correction is appended to the relevant article within five working days of a verified report. The correction notes what was stated, what the accurate information is, and the date of amendment.

Where a correction materially alters the substance of an article — rather than clarifying a minor detail — the article is flagged as having been substantially amended and the original date of publication is retained alongside the amendment date.

Readers who identify a potential inaccuracy are encouraged to write to the editorial team at [email protected] with the article title and a clear description of the concern.

Response Timeline

All correction requests are acknowledged within two working days. Investigation and verification typically complete within five working days from receipt.

Transparency Commitment

Corrections are not removed after publication. They remain appended to the relevant article as a permanent part of the editorial record, visible to all readers.

Scope of Correction

The correction policy applies to factual claims, citations, author attributions, and dates. Editorial judgements and interpretive framings are not subject to correction but may be the subject of published responses or follow-up articles.

— Commercial Independence

Independence and Disclosure

Felnora Review maintains a clear boundary between editorial content and any commercial arrangement. Writers are required to disclose, at the commissioning stage, any professional or commercial relationship with organisations, brands, or products that could influence the angle, selection of sources, or framing of an article.

Where such a relationship is disclosed, the article is either reassigned or published with a visible disclosure note. The publication does not accept payment for editorial coverage of any product, service, or individual.

The publication's editorial judgement is not influenced by advertising arrangements. Advertising content, where it appears, is clearly identified as such and is separated visually and editorially from the publication's own content.

— Writer Verification

Who Writes for Felnora Review

Writers contributing to Felnora Review hold demonstrable experience in one or more of the following areas: nutritional science, behavioural observation, food journalism, or everyday wellness writing. The editorial team reviews writing samples and a brief professional background before commissioning a new contributor.

Regular contributors are listed on the About page with a short biographical note. All articles are published under the writer's full name. Felnora Review does not publish anonymised or pseudonymous content, with the exception of acknowledged letters from readers.

Subject Area Scope

The publication focuses on the following areas: emotional eating patterns and their observable triggers, the distinction between emotional hunger and physical hunger, mindful eating awareness and eating pace, eating environment and distracted eating, habitual snacking and weekend eating patterns, food journalling as a reflective practice, and recognising fullness cues.

Articles that extend materially beyond this scope — particularly towards the management of specific conditions — are outside the publication's editorial remit and are declined at commissioning stage.
