Editorial standards

Our editorial aim is to make important decisions easier to understand. An article should explain its subject clearly, distinguish established information from uncertainty, and give readers useful questions to take to the relevant professional or provider.

Sources and attribution

Clinical and scientific explanations use suitable primary or authoritative sources, such as professional guidelines, public health agencies, official clinical guidance, and relevant research. Provider descriptions use official information to confirm the service a program actually advertises. A provider’s own description establishes what it says about its offer; it does not independently prove an outcome or comparative advantage.

Sources appear as links within articles and in a reference section. Guidance is described with its actual date and scope. A study of a narrow group should not be presented as a promise for every reader, and a preliminary finding should not be treated as settled clinical practice.

Authorship and review

Articles without an individual byline are attributed to this publication’s editorial team. Named clinical review is claimed only when an appropriately qualified reviewer has actually reviewed the article and that review is explicitly identified. Editorial checks for clarity, sourcing, and consistency are not clinical credentials.

Claims we expect to support

Descriptions must match the verified provider, program, and location. The publication does not invent qualifications, accreditation, success rates, patient reviews, private patient histories, or prices. It does not use accommodation quality as evidence of better treatment outcomes. Where a service’s scope is unclear, that limitation should remain visible.

Dates and changing information

An updated date records a substantive change to the article; it does not mean every external fact is reconfirmed daily. Provider availability, staffing, prices, admission rules, and locations can change. Readers should confirm current details before booking, traveling, or making treatment arrangements.

Corrections

A correction should identify the page, the disputed statement, and a suitable source. Use the corrections page to see what information helps the editorial team assess a change.
