Editorial Standards
How an article is researched, written, checked and reviewed before it publishes.
This is what happens to an article between the idea and the publish button. It is written down so you can hold a given article to it — and tell us when one falls short.
What we hold to
What happens to an article
Topics come from search demand we can document and from questions readers send. Before writing, we read what already ranks for the question and note what it leaves out, gets wrong, or has let go stale.
The sources are collected and read before a word of the article is written. Peer-reviewed journals, government health agencies, accredited medical bodies, and the manufacturer’s own documentation — in that order of weight.
Articles are written against the compiled source materials. Every health claim must be tied to a specific cited source. Every product recommendation must be supported by verifiable specifications.
Before publication, every article is reviewed to verify that statistics match the cited studies, specifications and prices are current, and no claim exceeds what the evidence actually supports.
Articles covering health, supplements, vitamins, wellness devices, family care, and pet nutrition undergo an additional layer of review for medical and scientific accuracy before publication.
Articles are published with their actual publication date. We never backdate or forward-date articles. We revisit articles when research changes, a product is discontinued, or readers identify an error.
