We believe readers deserve transparent, verifiable information.

Source hierarchy

1. Primary evidence Peer-reviewed clinical trials, cohort studies, meta-analyses. National and international guidelines (e.g., ministries of health, CDC, WHO, NICE). Statutes and regulatory documents affecting medical or consumer safety.
2. Secondary references Authoritative textbooks, position statements from major medical societies, academic medical centers.
3. Tertiary references Reputable summaries that compile primary and secondary sources. Used for orientation only.

Fact-checking process

• Every article is checked by a fact checker or section editor using the hierarchy above.
• Claims with numbers (e.g., efficacy rates, risks, prices) must include in-text attribution or reference notes.
• Safety information (contraindications, side effects) must cite clinical or regulatory sources.

Citation requirements

• Include title, publisher or journal, year, and a stable link or identifier when available.
• Prefer the most recent high-quality evidence. When evidence is mixed, summarize major viewpoints and state limitations.

Plagiarism and originality

• We only publish original writing. Quoted text is limited and clearly marked.
• We use plagiarism detection tools and editorial review to ensure originality.

Corrections

• If we find an error after publication, we add a dated correction note per our Corrections Policy.
