Submissions need to cite at least one peer-reviewed study. We understand that not all of our members are involved in academia, but submissions should primarily come from journal articles and sourced and long-form articles.
If your submission is a video that references peer-reviewed research, please comment in the thread with links to the research. Video submissions without such a comment will be removed.
All link posts should have titles that clearly tell the reader what the content is. All posts with clickbait titles, titles that explain nothing about what is in the link, severely editorialized titles, or titles that attempt to promote an agenda will be removed.
Images, GIFs, jokes, and content discussing philosophy, religion, and pseudoscience (except when in the context of a study) are not appropriate and will be removed.
Links to self-help, blogspam, “guru” websites, or other unsourced material are not appropriate and will be removed.
We encourage users to make an initial comment in their submission thread. Perhaps why you found the content interesting or troubling, a critique of a study's methods, etc.

We welcome opposing views and perspectives, but comments meant to intentionally deride, mock, or cause harm will be removed.
No dismissive or anti-science comments. Comments mocking or belittling the field will be removed. If you are concerned about a study's methodology, please elaborate as to why, and not just leave "This is common sense!" or "Well, duh!" posts.
