AsteriaStar Journal
The editorial publication of AsteriaStar. Every article says what kind of claim it is reporting and where the claim came from — because a preprint, an agency announcement and a peer-reviewed result are three different things.
Six questions that separate a result from a headline
Most of what separates a solid result from an overstated one is visible from the outside, if you know which six things to look for. None of them requires a physics degree.
Why a number without its origin is not worth printing
How AsteriaStar records where every scientific value came from — field-level provenance, the honesty envelope on live data, and what the platform does when a provider cannot be reached.
The hierarchy of evidence behind every article, and what each level is worth
The sourcing hierarchy AsteriaStar Journal works to — which sources count as primary, why a preprint is not a result, and how to tell an agency announcement from a measurement.
What this publication is for, and the one rule it will not bend
AsteriaStar Journal is the editorial publication of AsteriaStar — astronomy and space-science reporting held to the same sourcing standard as the platform's scientific data, with every claim traceable to where it came from.
The scope of the platform, and where this publication sits inside it
What the AsteriaStar platform contains — the scientific encyclopedia, the live data providers, the observing tools and the open API — and how the Journal relates to each.
Catalogues, releases, archives and how to use them.
