Methodology and source policy

How Chromatin.net approaches accuracy, attribution, and educational framing.

• Prefer foundational, widely taught molecular biology concepts that can be verified in standard references.
• Store source name, URL/API identifier, retrieval timestamp, and attribution for external records.
• Do not invent papers, DOIs, statistics, user activity, or classroom outcomes.
• Distinguish educational biology information from medical advice on every relevant surface.
• Expand quizzes and worksheets only from validated templates — never with fabricated science items.

Primary reference classes include open educational materials, agency/database resources (for example NCBI educational pages when used), and established textbooks such as Alberts Molecular Biology of the Cell and Campbell Biology for foundational framing. Specific citations are attached per topic as source rows are added.
