Scientific publishing and editorial policy
Child health, development, sport and nutrition content requires a high standard of trust. This page explains who creates it, which evidence is used, where human oversight applies and how we correct errors.

Scientific governance
The Scientific Board chaired by Prof. Dr. Bülent Bayraktar provides academic oversight for standards involving health, sport science and child safety. When an individual page has completed expert review, that status is stated on the page itself.
Prof. Dr. Bülent Bayraktar ↗1. Scope and purpose
We help children, families, teachers, coaches and clinicians understand a shared set of concepts safely. Content is educational decision support and does not replace diagnosis, treatment or emergency care.
2. Evidence hierarchy and sources
We prioritize national and international clinical guidance; systematic reviews and meta-analyses; peer-reviewed primary research; Turkey-specific reference studies; and, where needed, clearly labelled expert consensus. Source links appear at the end of articles and in structured data.
3. Who writes and reviews?
Every article shows its author or responsible editor, publication date and, when relevant, update date. “Scientifically reviewed” is used only after an assigned expert review is completed. Editorial checks and scientific expert review are distinct.
4. Health and child-safety checks
Red flags, age appropriateness, emergency signposting, privacy and child-protection language receive additional checks. Calculators explain uncertainty and do not issue individualized medical instructions.
5. Use of artificial intelligence
AI may assist with outlining, language support, classification or source discovery. It cannot approve a clinical claim, replace a source or make the final publication decision. Accountability remains with the human editor and, when named, the expert reviewer.
6. Freshness and versioning
Pages are reassessed when medical guidance, reference data, product methods or safety information changes. Meaningful changes update the modification date; technical republishing alone is not used to create false freshness.
7. Corrections policy
Verified material errors are corrected promptly; clinically unsafe content may be temporarily withdrawn. Significant corrections are disclosed on the page. Send the URL and rationale to hello@cocukgelisim.spor2030.com.
8. Independence and conflicts
Sponsored, commercial-partner or product-related content is clearly labelled. Commercial relationships cannot determine scientific conclusions, risk communication or source selection. Relevant conflicts are disclosed.
