scientific review
Scientific reviewer recruitment
World Peptide Foundation is developing a qualified scientific-reviewer roster for its controlled scientific-publication program. The first assignment is the semaglutide pilot.
Review terminology
WPF distinguishes Editorial moderation, Structured scientific review,Qualified human scientific review, and External independent validation. These states are not interchangeable, and a record is never described using a higher review state until that state has actually occurred.
Scientific Trust Center
Founding Scientific Contributor Program
Qualified clinicians, researchers, and evidence-methodology specialists may contribute their time and expertise to scientifically independent review of one or two agreed peptide evidence portfolios.
Selection criteria
- Relevant clinical, scientific, statistical, or evidence-synthesis expertise.
- Verifiable education, credentials, licenses, affiliations, and publications, as applicable.
- Experience appropriate to the requested peptide, evidence lane, and reviewer function.
- Complete financial and non-financial conflict disclosure and willingness to recuse.
- Completion of methodology, confidentiality, neutrality, security, and responsible-AI training.
- Successful calibration review before any scientific-review authority is activated.
Limited pro bono contribution
Participation is a limited pro bono contribution of time and expertise. No salary, stipend, honorarium, reimbursement, equity, or future payment is promised. A contributor may decline or withdraw from an assignment without penalty.
Acceptance into the program does not create employment, advisory-board membership, or reviewer authority. Verification, training, calibration, narrow assignment scope, expiration, and independent activation remain mandatory.
Verification may require original-language records or certified translations. Do not submit patient records, protected health information, passwords, government identification numbers, or confidential unpublished research.
Additional protected peptide assignments require quality acceptance of all initial work, an active credential, current training, calibration and conflicts, no unresolved corrections, and explicit approval.
Who should express interest
Endocrinology, obesity medicine, diabetes, clinical pharmacology, physiology, or directly relevant clinical research.
Clinical epidemiology, biostatistics, systematic reviews, evidence synthesis, trial methodology, or research integrity.
Qualification is assignment-specific. A professional title or license alone does not authorize review across every peptide or evidence lane.
Required dossier
- Current CV or professional resume
- Relevant degree, credential, and license information
- ORCID and representative peer-reviewed publications, when available
- Relevant clinical, research, peer-review, trial, or evidence-synthesis experience
- Requested peptide, evidence-lane, and reviewer-function scope
- Complete financial and non-financial conflict disclosure
- Agreement to credential verification, training, calibration, confidentiality, neutrality, recusal, and responsible AI-use requirements
Scientific independence requirements
Current peptide sellers, vendor operators or advisers, people receiving product-linked compensation, and people reviewing their own work are presumptively ineligible for the affected assignment. All potential conflicts are disclosed and adjudicated before access.
Scientific review and publication approval must be performed by different authorized people for the same evidence record.
How appointment works
- Expression of interest and dossier submission
- Identity, credential, experience, and conflict verification
- Methodology, confidentiality, neutrality, security, and AI-policy training
- Controlled calibration review
- Owner approval of a narrow, expiring assignment scope
- Ongoing quality review, disclosure updates, renewal, suspension, or revocation
