Research Communication
Built and operated an evidence-first research communications workflow for Quantum Buzzz, combining editorial review, citation forensics, and hype reduction before publication.
Quantum technology reporting is uniquely vulnerable to hype. Quantum Buzzz required editorial judgment capable of distinguishing credible scientific reporting from unsupported novelty claims, inflated performance metrics, and citation drift.
I designed an editorial workflow that decomposed high-risk claims—specifically targeting words like 'breakthrough' or 'proven'—and checked their integrity against primary literature. This involved tracing assertions back to origin DOIs, arXiv preprints, and official benchmarks.
Complex quantum claims passed through a strict verification rubric. The workflow routed drafts toward acceptance, citation repair, overclaim revision, or outright rejection, catching false-novelty narratives and misleading causal leaps before they reached the public.
Beyond individual article reviews, the workflow produced reusable editorial guides, verdict rubrics, and batch fact-check outputs, turning ad-hoc editing into a defensible, source-grounded technical review process.
The public portfolio summarizes the editorial system and its outcomes. Internal editorial rubrics, unpublished drafts, and proprietary review matrices remain confidential.
