Editorial integrity policy
Medical and scientific information changes — new trial readouts shift treatment standards, individual papers get retracted, and our own writing sometimes contains errors. We commit to handling these openly:
- Corrections are visible. When we materially change a published page, we record what changed and when, on this page. We do not silently rewrite history.
- Versions are stable. Every published page has a version number and a "last reviewed" date. Earlier versions remain accessible at versioned permalinks; the unversioned URL always points to the latest version.
- Retractions propagate quickly. When a paper cited on this site is retracted, the affected page is flagged within 48 hours and revised within 14 days. The change is recorded here.
- Author and reviewer attribution is preserved. Every published synthesis page lists the writer, the reviewer, and the editorial PI who signed off. Those names are part of the audit trail.
How to report an error
If you find something wrong — an incorrect medical claim, a broken citation, a typo, an accessibility issue, anything — please tell us. We do not consider this annoying; we consider it essential.
- Email errata@tnbc.info with the URL of the page and what you think is wrong.
- If you can, include a citation or source for the correction. This is helpful but not required.
- Reports are acknowledged within 5 business days. Verified errors are corrected within 14 days for medical content, 30 days for editorial corrections.
What counts as a change
We log:
- Any change to a factual or medical claim on a published page
- Any addition, removal, or replacement of a cited source
- Retraction of a cited paper, and the page-level response
- New synthesis pages going from draft to published
- Material changes to the privacy policy, accessibility statement, or governance pages
- Schema or methods changes that affect what’s in the bibliography
We do not log:
- Typo fixes, copy polish, and other non-substantive edits (handled silently)
- Routine bibliography updates from the weekly harvest (volume too high; covered in aggregate by the methods page)
- Routine dependency updates, build-system changes, or other invisible infrastructure work
Changelog
Reverse chronological. Each entry: date — page or system — what changed and why.
- 2026-07-10 — site now public
The Cloudflare Access gate was removed and TNBC Atlas is now fully publicly available. Pre-launch and internal-demo language has been updated across the site — contact addresses are now active, and the privacy policy no longer describes the Cloudflare Access sign-in flow. Aggregate cookieless analytics and the opt-in newsletter are the only additions to the no-tracking posture; there are still no accounts and no behavioral tracking. - 2026-07-09 — /privacy/
Policy update: added an opt-in email newsletter. We now store a subscriber’s email address and subscription date, used only to send the newsletter, with one-click unsubscribe and prompt deletion on unsubscribe; addresses are never sold or shared. This replaces the earlier “no newsletter” commitment. The no-accounts and no-behavioral-tracking posture is unchanged, and site analytics remain cookieless and aggregate (Plausible / Umami). - 2026-07-09 — /research/methods/
Updated to reflect the production corpus. Replaced the remaining pilot-era figures (14,319 records, 24-month window) with current numbers: 101,106 canonical records spanning 1985–2026, the full harvest query, and current enrichment, retraction, and coverage statistics. The historical backfill is complete. - 2026-07-01 — /research/landscape/, /research/
Published the evidence-library landscape analysis: 24 research themes mapped by corpus size versus recent momentum, with a directional read of where TNBC research is accelerating (antibody–drug conjugates, immune microenvironment) and where it is contracting. The research hub was updated with current library statistics. - 2026-06-21 — /research/library/
Historical backfill complete. The evidence library grew from the 14,319-record 24-month pilot to 101,106 canonical records spanning 1985–2026, covering the full TNBC literature back to the mid-1980s. The bibliography is now served from Cloudflare R2 (the corpus exceeds the Pages per-file limit); the faceted filter UI is unchanged. - 2026-06-03 — /research/synthesis/
Topic-synthesis drafting complete across the controlled taxonomy: 40+ researcher-layer pages published spanning epidemiology, biology and molecular subtypes, diagnosis, early-stage and metastatic treatment, immunotherapy, computational / ML methods, trial methodology, survivorship, and patient-experience domains. - 2026-05-18 — /patients/what-is-tnbc/
Added inline citation markers and a References section. Sixteen sources cited, all drawn from the tier-1 seed list (Allison 2020 ASCO/CAP, Wolff 2018 ASCO/CAP, Foulkes 2010 NEJM, Cortazar 2014 CTNeoBC, Bianchini 2022 Nat Rev Clin Oncol, Lin 2008 CNS metastases, Howard & Olopade 2021, Carey 2006, Stark 2010, KEYNOTE-355, KEYNOTE-522 initial and EFS, ASCENT, DESTINY-Breast04, OlympiAD, EMBRACA). Prose unchanged. - 2026-05-18 — /privacy/, /research/methods/, /changes/
First published drafts of three pages required for public launch. Privacy policy reflects the planned posture from Phase 3 plan §8 (no third-party trackers, EU hosting, 24-hour log retention, 90-day contact-form retention). Methods page documents the full bibliography pipeline. This errata page itself is now real content. - 2026-05-15 — /patients/glossary/, /patients/living-with-tnbc/, /patients/questions-to-ask/
First published drafts of three patient-layer pages. Glossary covers ~80 medical / oncology / TNBC-specific terms used elsewhere on the site, with A–Z jump navigation. Living-with-TNBC covers acute side-effect management, mental health, body and intimacy, long-term considerations, surveillance, and lifestyle evidence. Questions-to-ask covers 16 decision-point checklists. - 2026-05-15 — /patients/treatment/
First published draft. Covers early-stage and metastatic treatment, including the KEYNOTE-522 / KEYNOTE-355 / ASCENT / DESTINY-Breast04 / OlympiA framing, side effects by drug class, clinical-trial note, and a list of areas the page deliberately doesn’t cover (fertility, genetic counseling, brain metastases, palliative care). - 2026-05-10 — /patients/diagnosis/
First published draft. Covers the six-step diagnostic pathway (suspicious finding → imaging → biopsy → pathology → staging → genetic testing), with the precise IHC and FISH thresholds that define triple-negative status, the HER2-low boundary, and the recommendation for germline genetic testing in all TNBC patients regardless of age or family history. - 2026-05-10 — /patients/what-is-tnbc/
First published draft. Plain-language overview of TNBC, the three molecular markers (ER, PR, HER2), and current treatment classes (chemotherapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors, ADCs, PARP inhibitors). - 2026-05-10 — /research/library/
First published version of the bibliography browser. 14,319 canonical records from a 24-month pilot harvest (2024-05-10 → 2026-05-10) across PubMed, Europe PMC, and OpenAlex, enriched with Crossref + Unpaywall + Retraction Watch. Faceted search and filter UI; static asset served from/data/bibliography.json. - 2026-05-10 — site launch (closed beta)
Initial site scaffold deployed attnbc.infobehind Cloudflare Access. Astro + Tailwind static site on Cloudflare Pages. Patient-layer and researcher-layer IA in place; most pages still placeholders pending content drafting.
How retractions appear here
When a paper cited on a synthesis page is retracted, the entry on this page will look like:
YYYY-MM-DD — /path/to/affected/page/
Retraction response. Citation [N] (Author et al., Year, Journal) was retracted on YYYY-MM-DD (retraction notice DOI). The claim previously supported by this citation has been revised: [brief description of the substantive change]. The pre-revision version is preserved at /path/to/affected/page/vN/.
A retraction never causes a page to silently disappear or to be edited without notice. The previous version is always preserved at a permanent versioned URL so anyone who cited an earlier version can find what they originally cited.
Last reviewed: 2026-07-10. This page itself is subject to its own errata policy. If you spot an error in the errata list, write to errata@tnbc.info.
