Phys.org is an online science, research and technology news aggregator offering briefs from press releases and reports from news agencies (a form of journalism sometimes pejoratively called churnalism).[1][2][3] The website also produces its own science journalism.[4][verification needed][5] Phys.org is one of the most updated science websites, with an average of 98 posts per day.[6] It is part of the Science X network of websites, headquartered on the Isle of Man, United Kingdom. In April 2011, Phys.org launched the Medical Xpress site dedicated to content on medicine and health.[7]
