What Sets Us Apart:

Many other science news publications rely on press releases sent out by universities and other research-focused organizations. There is nothing wrong with this per se – press releases serve as a valuable source of information for journalists and help to disseminate important research findings.

But the reliance on press releases can also lead to a narrow scope of coverage. As a result, a wide range of important scientific studies, especially those conducted by lesser-known institutions, those in emerging fields, and those that examine controversial subjects, may go unnoticed or receive inadequate coverage.

PsyPost, in contrast, takes a proactive approach by searching through scientific journals to uncover important and interesting research findings that may have been overlooked. This helps to counteract the potential bias that can arise from relying solely on press releases or a limited set of sources.

Searching through scientific journals also enables PsyPost to uncover studies with null results or incremental advancements, which are crucial for the advancement of scientific knowledge. These types of studies, although not always deemed newsworthy by traditional media outlets, play a fundamental role in the scientific process.

Another benefit of focusing on the studies themselves is that it allows PsyPost to delve deeper into the methodology, results, and implications of the research. Journal articles provide more detailed and nuanced information compared to condensed press releases.
