Editorial policy

PsychVault publishes educational content about psychology practice, training, professional development, neurodiversity, digital safety, documentation, and Australian regulatory systems. Articles are intended to help readers understand a topic and find primary sources; they do not replace individual clinical, legal, medical, regulatory, or supervision advice.

Articles identify an author and link to an author profile where available. Read the profile for the person's stated experience; a byline alone does not establish specialist expertise. We distinguish research findings and current requirements from interpretation or lived experience.

An article is only described as independently reviewed when a named reviewer and review date appear on that article. If those details are absent, readers should not assume that an independent clinical review has occurred.

For clinical, safety, legal, and regulatory topics, we aim to use primary sources such as legislation, regulators, government agencies, professional standards, systematic reviews, and original research. A source may be limited by its methods, date or population. Where evidence is uncertain or evolving, an article should say so rather than present interpretation as settled guidance.

Articles may display publication and updated dates. Material changes to time-sensitive guidance should be reflected in the updated date and, where useful, explained in the article. Minor spelling or formatting changes do not necessarily change that date.

Scheduled review dates are reminders for a future editorial check, not evidence of a completed clinical review. An updated date records an editorial change and does not establish independent review. Material factual corrections are explained on the affected article.

If you identify an error, missing source, outdated requirement, or unclear disclosure, contact us with the article URL and supporting information. We review correction requests and update the article when a change is warranted.

PsychVault is also a marketplace. Articles may link to paid or free resources from independent creators or the platform. Such resources are separate from editorial articles and should be assessed for suitability, scope and licensing. Any sponsorship or affiliate relationship should be identified with the content where applicable.
