01 — The Process
01
Topic Identification

What Gets Covered and Why

Raldonik selects topics based on three intersecting criteria: relevance to men's daily wellness habits in urban Indonesia, the availability of credible published research, and editorial significance — the degree to which the topic represents a genuine gap in accessible information. Topics originating from commercial pressure, sponsor relationships, or trending online conversations are excluded from consideration.

Selection Filters
  • Peer-reviewed research available on the topic
  • Relevant to the Jakarta urban lifestyle context
  • Not previously addressed in recent entries
  • No commercial conflict of interest
  • Serves the working-professional readership profile

Research Sourcing

Where Evidence Comes From

All nutritional and fitness positions published in Raldonik are sourced from indexed peer-reviewed publications: PubMed, journal archives, and established nutritional epidemiology databases. Grey literature (blogs, podcasts, popular wellness media) is used for context only — never as a primary source for editorial claims.

Active ingredient profiles referenced in nutritional content are selected based on published nutritional research and undergo independent batch verification for quality and labelling accuracy where applicable. Active ingredients are sourced from documented suppliers, with each batch accompanied by a certificate of composition.

Fact-Check Cycle

Before Any Entry Is Published

Each entry passes a structured internal editorial review before publication. The review confirms: every factual claim is traceable to an indexed source; no language overstates what the evidence supports; no stop-words or modality claims have entered the copy. A second reader reviews independently. Both sign off before release.

Review Checklist — Revision 04-B
  • All claims traceable to indexed source
  • No outcome promises present in copy
  • Language stays within evidence range
  • Indonesian context contextualisation confirmed
  • Second reader independent sign-off
  • No commercial influence on editorial position

Publication and Archive

The Entry as a Living Record

Upon publication, entries are dated and versioned. The date reflects the primary research date, not the web publication timestamp. Significant revisions carry a revision marker (e.g., Rev. 02) and a brief change note. This approach treats the journal as a living archive rather than a fixed publication — one that can be interrogated, corrected, and updated as research evolves.

Quarterly reviews examine whether any published entry has been materially overtaken by subsequent research. Where it has, the entry is updated. Where the evidence has reversed a prior position entirely, the entry is archived and a correction entry is published in its place. Readers are never left following guidance the journal no longer stands behind.

Supplier and Sourcing Standards

Ingredient Documentation

When referencing specific nutritional ingredients, Raldonik only describes compounds whose sourcing documentation is available. Active ingredients are sourced from documented suppliers, with each batch accompanied by a certificate of composition. Sourcing prioritises suppliers whose facilities maintain food-grade processing standards.

Raldonik does not act as a reseller or retailer. References to ingredient sourcing in editorial content are informational only — describing research-context, not directing purchasing behaviour.

Independence and Correction Policy

No Sponsor Influence. No Silent Corrections.

Editorial Independence

No advertiser, sponsor, or affiliate relationship alters Raldonik's editorial positions. All content decisions are made by the editorial team without commercial input.

Transparent Corrections

Where an error is found in published content, a correction is made publicly, dated, and documented. Silent edits that do not acknowledge the change are not permitted under the journal's standards.

Reader Rights

Any reader may submit a correction request by email. Where a cited source is disputed, the editorial team will review within 10 business days and respond with a position statement.
