Editorial and sourcing policy
Last updated September 6, 2026. This page explains how CloserType selects, verifies, cites, and corrects content.
What we publish
We prioritize concrete relationship questions. Direct headlines never justify claiming we can read minds, and we do not treat astrology, a single message, or a quiz score as a factual verdict.
Sources
We prioritize peer-reviewed research, PubMed or PMC records, government guidance, universities, and professional organizations. We avoid presenting correlation as causation or one population as universal.
Writing and review process
Editors define the reader's situation, read the sources, write an original explanation, and add examples and practical steps. Before publication we check title accuracy, links, safety notes, and unsupported certainty.
Authors and scope
CloserType Editorial Team is a shared editorial byline, not a clinical credential. The site provides general education and reflection, not diagnosis, treatment, crisis response, or individualized professional advice.
Corrections and commercial independence
We update articles when evidence changes, links break, or readers identify an error. Advertising and partnerships do not determine our conclusions. Send corrections to hello@closertype.com.
