Brelona Dispatch operates under a defined set of editorial principles that govern how articles are selected, written, reviewed, and published. These standards are public, permanent, and apply equally to all contributors.
Brelona Dispatch operates under the following editorial principles: articles are reviewed by at least one second editor before publication, sources are cited where appropriate, corrections are noted publicly, and writers disclose any commercial relationships that could influence their selection of subject matter.
Articles begin as editorial proposals submitted by staff or contributing writers. Each proposal must identify a clear subject — drawn from the fields of meal timing, eating rhythm, food scheduling, or related daily-life nutrition observations — and name at least two published nutritional research sources that will inform the piece.
Proposals are reviewed by the commissioning editor within five working days. Topics that duplicate recently published content, lack adequate sourcing, or fall outside the publication's defined scope are declined at this stage with written reasoning provided to the contributor.
Every factual claim in a submitted article must be traced to a primary source: a peer-reviewed study, a recognised nutritional institution's published guidance, or a named and verified practitioner's documented observation. Secondary sources — articles citing other articles — are acceptable only when the primary source is also referenced.
Content published by Brelona Dispatch is selected based on published nutritional research and reviewed for editorial accuracy by a second editor before publication. Sources are verified by a member of the editorial team who did not write the piece.
All submitted drafts pass through a two-stage review. The first review — conducted by the commissioning editor — assesses structure, sourcing, and scope. The second review — conducted by a senior editor — assesses accuracy, tone, and compliance with the publication's editorial standards.
Neither review stage may be waived. Articles that receive substantial revision requests at either stage are returned to the contributor for a revised draft before re-entering the review queue. Timelines for each stage are defined in the contributor agreement issued at the point of commission.
Writers are required to disclose any financial or non-financial relationship with organisations, products, or individuals mentioned in their articles. This includes sponsorships, consultancy arrangements, brand affiliations, and personal relationships that could reasonably influence the framing of a piece.
Disclosures are reviewed by the editorial team before publication. Where a conflict of interest cannot be adequately managed by disclosure alone, the piece is either reassigned to a writer without the conflict or declined. Disclosed relationships are noted at the foot of the published article.
Brelona Dispatch is committed to correcting errors promptly and transparently. Errors brought to the editorial team's attention — whether by readers, contributors, or sources — are assessed within three working days. If confirmed, the correction is appended to the published article with the date of correction noted.
Substantive errors that affect the primary argument of an article may result in a retraction. In such cases, the original article is replaced with a retraction notice that describes the nature of the error. Corrections and retractions are never made silently.
The publication's editorial scope is defined as: meal timing and its relationship to daily energy rhythm; eating frequency and structured food scheduling; morning and evening eating patterns; the relationship between food timing and overnight rest; and circadian eating awareness as explored through published nutritional literature.
Articles that extend beyond editorial scope into areas requiring professional authorisation — specific dietary regimens for named conditions, individualised nutritional advice, or claims about the management of any health pattern — are outside the publication's remit and will not be commissioned or accepted.
Articles published on Brelona Dispatch are editorial in nature and reflect the writers' observations on meal timing, eating rhythm, and daily food scheduling. The content is not intended as professional advice, nor as guidance for the management of any specific condition. Readers with specific concerns about their daily routines are encouraged to speak with a qualified wellness professional.
Brelona Dispatch is an independent editorial publication exploring meal timing, eating rhythm, and daily food scheduling in everyday life. The publication is not affiliated with any commercial, governmental, or institutional body.
