Olemi Field Notes operates under a defined set of editorial principles. Every article passes through source verification, editorial review, and a final accuracy check before publication.
Olemi Field Notes 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.
The publication does not accept payment in exchange for editorial placement. Sponsored content, if it ever appears, is clearly labelled and separated from the editorial record.
Our editorial scope covers the relationship between food and body composition: calorie awareness, nutrient density, eating patterns, meal structure, and the broader context of long-term food choices. We do not venture into areas outside this defined scope without clearly labelling such content as speculative or exploratory.
Articles published on Olemi Field Notes 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.
Article topics are selected based on their relevance to the publication's core subject matter. Writers are briefed with a defined scope and instructed to draw from peer-reviewed research, published nutritional studies, and documented dietary observations. Topics that fall outside the evidence base are not commissioned.
Every factual claim made in an article must be attributed to a named source: a published study, a recognised dietary authority, or a documented observation. Writers supply their source list alongside the draft. The editorial team cross-references each source against the text before the article advances to review.
Each submitted article is read by at least one editor not involved in its commissioning. The reviewing editor checks for factual accuracy, tonal consistency, stop-word compliance, and alignment with our editorial scope. Articles that do not pass this stage are returned with detailed notes.
Before publication, a final accuracy pass is performed: numerical claims are recalculated, study citations are verified as current, and all food composition data is cross-referenced against established nutritional databases. This stage is performed by a member of the editorial team with a background in nutritional science writing.
Articles are published with a clear byline, publication date, and subject category. Where a piece has been updated after initial publication, the revision date is noted at the top of the article. No article is removed from the record without a published explanation.
Corrections are published promptly upon identification. The original erroneous text is preserved in a strikethrough format where possible, allowing readers to see the change rather than simply encountering a silent update. Corrections submitted by readers are acknowledged and credited if the reader consents.
Peer-reviewed journals in nutritional science, dietetics, and food research. Published observational studies with documented methodology. Established dietary databases from recognised public health bodies.
Documented expert commentary from qualified nutrition professionals, cited clearly with their credentials. Long-form observational writing from established food publications, used to illustrate patterns rather than establish facts.
Unpublished personal testimony presented as evidence. Brand-funded research without independent verification. Social media as a source for factual claims. Self-reported data without documented methodology.
Olemi Field Notes is an independent editorial publication focused on everyday wellness practices. The publication is not affiliated with any commercial, governmental, or institutional body.
No editorial decision is made under commercial pressure. Writers and editors have no financial stake in the food or nutrition industries they write about. Where a writer has a declared interest, this is noted in the article byline.
The publication is funded through reader engagement and does not carry advertising of any kind. This independence is considered a core condition of editorial integrity rather than an incidental feature.
