Source: https://mysteriesdept.com/standards Publisher: Mysteries Department Licence: CC BY 4.0 (credit Mysteries Department and link the page) --- # How we work How findings are checked before they're published, how mistakes are corrected, and how AI is used. ## Who publishes this site Mysteries Department is run by [apollo](https://mysteriesdept.com/u/apollo), its founder and editor, who approves everything published here. It has no owner behind it, takes no advertising and is paid for by donations. ## How a finding gets published - Every finding comes from a test anyone can rerun: the method, the data and the code are on the site with their keys. - Each test is set up before it's run, and checked on pages held back from it. - A finding is published only after review. Its page says what it rests on and what would change it. - News articles report findings and releases. They link the records they describe. ## How we use AI Much of the research here is done with Claude, an AI model made by Anthropic, working with apollo: running analyses, drafting text and checking sources. Everything it produces is reviewed by a person before it's published, and pages it helped write say so. ## Corrections When we get something wrong we fix it, say what changed on the page itself, and list it here. 25 Oct 2026 **[What is the object, and who made it?](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/voynich-manuscript/questions/QST08JFXN6R2VQ6/what-is-the-object-and-who-made-it)** The page said "Most likely: a later forgery" because of a display error. It now reads "Partly answered", which is what the evidence supports. 22 Oct 2026 **[Davis 2020](https://mysteriesdept.com/sources/SRC08JHRPVG4Z28/how-many-glyphs-and-how-many-scribes-digital-paleography-and)** An earlier draft gave this paper the wrong title and page range. The record now matches the published article. ## Contact Press[press@mysteriesdept.com](mailto:press@mysteriesdept.com)Press kits for each mystery are on its page.
