Our work moves from literature discovery and chemical identity through receptor hypotheses, pathway inference, computational classification, and preparation-level biological evidence. Each project keeps its source, method, and uncertainty visible.

Manuscript packages use journal-specific structures and declarations. Author metadata is recorded conservatively; unconfirmed details remain explicitly marked for verification.
| Manuscript | Recommended journal | Framing |
|---|---|---|
| Census | Journal of Natural Products Discovery | Source-audited identity census with chemometric and data-mining methods |
| Claims | Pharmacology Research & Perspectives | Evidence-based pharmacology perspective, not an efficacy catalogue |
| Terpotype | Cannabis & Cannabinoid Research | Cannabis chemistry and profile classification |
| Cannabis variability | Metabolomics | Compositional data analysis, missingness, and uncertainty |
| Absinthe | Journal of Psychedelic Studies | Critical review and evidence map of a psychedelic claim |
| Artemisia | Phytochemistry Reviews | Chemistry-led frozen scoping review with bounded integration |
| Classifier / TerpNet | JCIM / Plant Methods | Reproducible computational methods with held-out validation |
| ADHD attention | Journal of Attention Disorders | Attention research review with complete citations and study context |
03 / Publication priority
Order is designed to maximize throughput and quality control while minimizing dependency risk.
| Wave | Manuscripts | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| Wave 1 (ready now) | Census; Claims; Terpotype; Absinthe; Artemisia | Formatting and metadata are near complete; these can move quickly through final checks. |
| Wave 2 (in progress) | Classifier / TerpNet | Methods/figures are being finalized before submit-ready formatting lock. |
| Wave 3 (active development) | Cannabis metabolic network; ADHD attention | Core narratives and evidence packages are still being assembled. |
04 / Working status
Status reflects the latest project-agent handoff. “Complete” means the current package has been formatted and checked; remaining author fields are still subject to confirmation.
| Project | Current status | Next handoff |
|---|---|---|
| Census | Journal-format checks complete; formatting verified on current branch | Census agent is validating final tables and preparing submission-ready files |
| Claims | Formatted package complete and synced | Claims agent is running final journal-style proofing and submit-readiness review |
| Classifier | Journal-format verification in progress | Classifier agent is completing JCIM methods narrative and figure set |
| Terpotype / strain variability | Author and CRediT metadata finalized; manuscripts formatted | Strain team is validating funding/competing-interest statements for CCR and Metabolomics tracks |
| TerpNet | Repository and workflow updates pushed with supporting SQL artifacts | TerpNet agent is assembling Plant Methods methods, reproducibility, and figure evidence package |
| Cannabis metabolic network | In progress; pathway coverage and curation artifacts being normalized for review | Cannabis network agent is updating the strain-based causal model and graph-validation snapshots independent of TerpNet |
| Absinthe | Commit synced to manuscript branch and package committed | Absinthe agent is finalizing evidence map and preparing JPS submission checklist |
| Artemisia | Formatted package complete and synced | Artemisia agent is confirming references and submission metadata |
| ADHD attention | In progress on evidence matrix and reporting structure | ADHD agent is finishing manuscript narrative and target-journal style checks |
05 / Evidence rules
A database record is not a validated natural product. A receptor association is not efficacy. A docking score is not affinity. A graph path is not proof of in-vivo production. We preserve those distinctions throughout the portfolio.
