Editorial Standards
How we research, cite, review and correct our 5-MeO-DMT content.
The FIVE Institute publishes 5-MeO-DMT education for facilitators, clinicians, researchers and the public. Because this information can affect people’s safety, we hold it to the following standards.
Evidence first
Claims about effects, risks and outcomes are based on published research wherever it exists. We cite our sources in the text with numbered references, list them at the foot of the page with a link to the original study, and show the type of evidence behind each citation, for example a systematic review, clinical study, survey or preclinical study. Where research is limited, we say so, and we distinguish findings from practitioner experience.
Our bibliography
Studies we cite are collected in our scientific bibliography, with authors, journal, year and DOI. Studies conducted with The FIVE Institute or authored by members of our team are labelled.
Review and updates
Our guide pages show who reviewed them and when they were last reviewed. We review pages when new research is published or our protocols change.
Safety and harm reduction
We write about 5-MeO-DMT to reduce harm. We do not encourage the use of any controlled substance, and our pages carry a disclaimer and link to our Medical Disclaimer and legality guide.
Independence
We name our research and education partners openly on our About and Partner pages. Where a page describes our own programs, it says so.
Corrections
If you believe something on this website is inaccurate or out of date, please tell us through our contact page, with a source if you have one. We review reports and correct errors we find.
