About

An independent publisher, working from published research.

Longhand Press produces written material about peer-reviewed research on communication between partners. It is a small independent publishing operation based in Brazil, working in English, with no institutional affiliation and no funding from any research body, university, or clinical organisation.

The name describes the method. Research summaries elsewhere tend to compress a study into a claim and drop everything that made the claim conditional. This publication does the opposite: it writes out the sample, the design, the measure, and the objection, because those are usually where the interesting part is.

How topics are chosen

Selection starts with findings that circulate widely outside the academic literature and asks what the original studies actually reported. A topic is taken up when three conditions hold: the primary research is accessible, at least one substantive methodological objection exists in print, and the gap between what was found and what is commonly asserted is large enough to be worth describing.

Topics are not selected by search volume, by commercial potential, or by what a paid publication happens to cover.

How sources are cited

Researchers are named. Journals are named. Where a specific figure appears, it comes from the published paper rather than from secondary coverage. Where a claim rests on a single study, that is stated. Where a result has failed to replicate or has been contested on methodological grounds, the objection appears in the same passage as the finding — the marginal notes running down the left of each article exist for exactly that purpose.

No statistic is published without a traceable source. Where the evidence is thin or disputed, the article says so rather than rounding toward confidence.

What this publication does not do

• No therapy, counselling, coaching, or professional advice of any kind.
• No assessment, diagnosis, or treatment of any individual.
• No personalised guidance, correspondence advice, or one-to-one consultation.
• No claim that reading the material produces any outcome.
• No testimonials, reviews, case studies, success stories, or before-and-after accounts — none are collected, solicited, incentivised, or published.
• No crisis or emergency service; correspondence is not monitored for urgent situations.

How we advertise

Where Longhand Press advertises, the advertising follows the same rule as the articles. Advertisements describe what this publication covers. They do not assume, assert, or imply anything about the circumstances, household, relationship, health, or state of mind of the person seeing them, because this publication holds no such information and no such inference would be sound.

Advertisements are written in the third person and refer to research findings and to the subject matter of the publication. They do not use testimonials, before-and-after framing, urgency, scarcity, or claims about results.

The destination corresponds to the advertisement. An advertisement referring to an article leads to that article. An advertisement referring to a publication leads to a page describing that publication, with the price, the format, and the refund terms visible before any purchase step.

Corrections

Errors are corrected on the page where they appeared, with a dated note describing what changed. Substantive corrections are not made silently. If a cited paper is retracted, or a finding is overturned by later work, the article is revised or withdrawn and the reason is recorded. Reports of factual error can be sent to support@longhandpress.online and are answered whether or not a change results.

Commercial disclosure

Longhand Press sells written material. Where a paid publication exists, it is identified as such, and the articles on this site are not conditioned on purchasing it. This publication does not accept sponsorship, does not carry affiliate links, does not sell advertising space to third parties, and receives no payment for mentioning any researcher, book, institution, or product. Nothing in the editorial material is placed in exchange for consideration.

Any commercial arrangement entered into in future will be disclosed on this page before it takes effect.

Contact and jurisdiction

Longhand Press is operated from Brazil and corresponds by email only, at support@longhandpress.online. There is no public office and no telephone line. Brazilian law governs the terms of use; the privacy policy covers both Brazilian and European data protection requirements.
