Editorial Policy
How we research, write, review, fact-check, and update every article on Medical-Clinic.info.
Our Core Commitment
Medical-Clinic.info is committed to providing accurate, evidence-based, and clinically reviewed health information. We maintain strict separation between our editorial and commercial functions — advertising and sponsorship decisions have no influence on our content. Our editorial team operates with complete independence.
The Editorial Process
1. Topic selection
Topics are selected based on public health significance, search demand, and evidence availability. Priority is given to conditions and symptoms where accurate information has high clinical impact and where misinformation is common.
2. Research and writing
Articles are researched and drafted by certified medical writers with graduate-level training in health sciences (typically MSc or MPH). Writers draw primarily from: peer-reviewed journal articles (PubMed, Cochrane Library), clinical practice guidelines from major medical societies (AHA, ADA, NICE, ESC, ACR, GINA, etc.), and systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Secondary sources and non-peer-reviewed content are not used as primary references.
3. Physician review
Every article is reviewed by a board-certified physician with active clinical practice in the relevant specialty before publication. Reviewers check for: clinical accuracy, alignment with current guidelines, appropriate emphasis on urgency and emergency situations, and suitability for a general audience. Reviewer credentials are displayed on each article.
4. Fact-checking
All statistics, drug names, dosages, and clinical thresholds cited in articles are independently fact-checked against primary sources before publication.
5. Publication standards
Articles display: the date of original publication, the date of most recent review/update, the name and credentials of the physician reviewer, and a complete list of medical references. The "Physician Reviewed" badge is only applied when the full review process has been completed.
6. Updates and corrections
Content is reviewed on a regular schedule (minimum annually) and updated when significant new evidence emerges — such as updated clinical guidelines, major new trial results, or drug safety communications. Corrections to factual errors are made promptly and transparently. The update date is always reflected on the article.
