How we review content

Every guide is editorially checked and cites its sources before it is published. A clinician's name appears on a guide only after that clinician has reviewed it; until then the guide says “clinician review pending”.

Written, checked, published

An author writes to our page standard and adds at least two sources, one of them from a leading medical body. Automated checks confirm the structure, the sources and the wording rules before a page is published.

Named reviewers, where there is one

When a clinician has reviewed a guide, their name, credentials and review date appear on that page. As of October 2026, that is 25 of 100 guides.

The rest say so

A guide with no named reviewer says “Editorially checked · clinician review pending”. We are adding reviews, and a label changes only when a clinician has actually reviewed that page.

Other languages

The guide library is in English today, and Arabic guides are being prepared. The site's screens and tools are in English, Arabic, French and Spanish. A translated guide will carry its own review status, never the English guide's.
