How a topic is chosen Topics come from three places: published syllabi and curricula, questions readers send by email or in comments, and gaps in what is already available to students. We do not pick topics because they are easy to rank for. How an article is written 1. Research. I read the relevant textbook chapters, curriculum documents and published sources, and take notes in my own words. 2. Outline. Every article is structured before it is written — definition, explanation, comparison, worked examples, exam questions. 3. Write. I write the whole article myself, aiming for plain language and short sentences. 4. Check. Facts, spellings of scientific names, and diagrams are checked before publishing. 5. Review. Older articles are revisited and updated when syllabi change or when a reader points out an error. On the use of AI tools AI tools are sometimes used the same way a calculator is used — to check a fact, rephrase a sentence or generate an idea. They never write a finished article. Every post here is written and edited by a person, and every example, diagram caption and exam question is chosen by hand. Anything produced by a tool is checked against a real source before it goes on the page, because these tools get biology facts wrong. What we do not publish • Copied text from textbooks, websites or other blogs • Reproduced exam papers, question papers or syllabi • Song lyrics, book extracts or any other copyrighted material • Unedited, generic machine-written articles • Medical advice, dosage instructions or treatment protocols Images and attribution Images are either my own photographs, diagrams I have drawn, or freely licensed images from sources such as Wikimedia Commons, Pixabay and Unsplash. Every image has descriptive alt text. Where an image is not ours, the source is credited. We never use watermarked stock images or images taken from a search engine. Corrections If you find an error, email rulesofbiology@gmail.com. It will be corrected, and you will be credited in the post unless you would prefer not to be. Independence Advertising and affiliate relationships never influence which topics get covered or what we say about them. Sponsored content, if we ever run it, is clearly labelled.
