Masthead
Who is responsible for what. The Journal publishes its masthead in full because accountability requires a name, and because a reader with a complaint should know exactly whose desk it lands on.
Editorial
- Editor-in-Chief — Inés Abernathy. Responsible for everything published. Writes the back page and signs off every correction.
- Standards Editor — Desmond Oyelaran. Owns the sourcing rules, the corrections log and the annual accuracy audit. Complaints about the Journal’s conduct reach him first.
- Deputy Editor, Science — Marguerite Vasseur. Pharmacology, clinical trials, explainers.
- Supply Chain Editor — Noor Haddadin. Runs the vendor dossier programme.
- Data Editor — Harriet Oduya. Datasets, the price series, the trial-data explorer, and the arithmetic in every table.
- Letters Editor — Tamsin Okonjo. Reads the correspondence, selects what is printed, verifies every signature.
The fact-checking desk
Every feature is read against its primary sources before it is filed. The desk holds the annotated proofs.
- Senior Fact Checker — Jonas Arvelo. Clinical and epidemiological claims.
- Fact Checker — Wren Kealoha. Analytical and laboratory claims: chromatograms against the stated method, mass differences against the claimed modification, arithmetic against its units.

Declarations
Nobody who writes for the Journal accepts speaking fees, consultancy, honoraria, travel or equity from a pharmaceutical manufacturer, a compounding pharmacy, a testing laboratory or a research-chemical vendor. Where a contributor has a prior relationship with an organisation we cover, it is stated on their contributor page and in the piece.
The Journal pays its own congress registration and travel and accepts no industry hospitality. Where a session or study we report was industry-supported, we say so in the piece. No contributor holds equity in any organisation named in these pages, and no contributor is remunerated by volume, traffic or engagement.
Where to send what
- Letters for publication, including disagreements — letters@compoundjournal.com. Give a city; we verify it before printing.
- Factual challenges, corrections, complaints — standards@compoundjournal.com. Reaches the standards editor, not the writer.
- Certificates of analysis for the document archive — the standards desk address above. We publish aggregates, not individual readers’ names.
We do not publish telephone numbers and we do not conduct correspondence over messaging apps. Everything is in writing, so that everything can be quoted accurately.
