Overview

Comprehensive and accurate information is an essential part of the learning and decision-making process. To ensure the highest possible standards, Toxipedia uses a tiered review system that ranges from no review (TXP-0) to the highest level of peer review (TXP-3). Users and contributors to Toxipedia are encouraged to carefully examine the Quality Assurance Review System.

Each page will be marked with one of the control levels below. Pages with the highest review level also have the most restricted editing permissions. All pages are monitored by Toxipedia editors.

• TXP-0 - The information is the product of the author and has undergone no review. Authors are encouraged to provide external references or to reference high-level Toxipedia material. Certain sections such as discussion boards and editorials will always be at this level. Pages rated TXP-0 are edited only to ensure that the content is on-topic and appropriate, and we are in the process of copyediting all pages to remove any errors in grammar, usage, or mechanics (such as punctuation and spelling). 

• TXP-1 - The information was created or reviewed by Toxipedia's staff. References are often a work in progress.

• TXP-2 - The information was reviewed and accepted by the Toxipedia review committee, which includes members of the Toxipedia advisory board. Changes are only made following review. The section is well referenced to source material.

• TXP-3 - The information has undergone external peer review by recognized experts in the area and is a final product. The section is fully referenced to source material.
