Editorial Standards

How we publish

Good health information shows its working.

Our standard is built around clear provenance, topic-appropriate review, honest uncertainty, visible corrections, and a respectful reader experience.

Source it

Recommendations should identify appropriate references and distinguish guidelines, reviews, trials, and observational evidence.

Explain limits

We state what evidence can support, what it cannot prove, who was studied, and where uncertainty remains.

Match review to topic

Articles about menopause, medications, chronic conditions, pregnancy, or eating disorders need careful topic-matched review.

Correct visibly

Readers need a practical way to report an error, and material corrections should be recorded and visible.

Article transparency: every substantial article should show Written by, Reviewed by when applicable, Published, Updated, References, Limitations, Disclosures, and When to consult a clinician.
