📋 Methodology

How we source, verify, and curate EMF research news

Our Mission

EMF Signal aims to bridge the global community of researchers, advocates, and curious individuals interested in the health effects of electromagnetic fields. We aggregate and curate content to make the worldwide conversation visible and accessible.

Core Principles

1. Source Quality First

We prioritize peer-reviewed research, official government publications, and established independent analysts over sensational media coverage.

2. Balanced Presentation

EMF research includes studies showing effects and studies showing no effects. We present both, letting readers form their own conclusions.

3. Transparency

We link to original sources whenever possible. Our curation criteria are documented here.

4. No Financial Conflicts

EMF Signal is not funded by telecommunications companies, equipment manufacturers, or advocacy groups. We have no financial incentive to favor any conclusion.

Source Tiers

We categorize sources by reliability and review level:

Tier Description Examples
Tier 1 Peer-reviewed journals, official government agencies, established research databases EMF-Portal, PubMed, WHO, ICNIRP, national health agencies
Tier 2 Established independent analysts, scientific organizations, expert commentary Microwave News, ICBE-EMF, BioEM, academic institutions
Tier 3 General news media, advocacy organizations, opinion pieces Major newspapers, health news sites, advocacy groups

We primarily feature Tier 1 and Tier 2 sources. Tier 3 sources are included when they report on significant developments, with appropriate context.
