Healthopedia Editorial Policy

With our vast pool of expert authors, we offer the most reliable and up-to-date health information on topics worldwide. Our mission is to not only bring you objective, honest and precise articles but to add value to your life and be the lighthouse you come to when lost in the ocean of misinformation, desiring to find straightforward answers in the health field. 

How We Get Our Information

An expansive variety of information awaits within these walls: from practical guides for everyday living to clinical content and resources geared towards helping people understand the ins and outs of their condition. The information on this website was compiled through rigorous research and includes citations from reliable sources.

Clear, easy-to-understand information is available for those who have a need or desire to know more. The diversity of the authors is what makes this site so valuable. With experts from various backgrounds, there’s something for everyone!

We realize that many different types of people visit our site, so we provide an array of information on all kinds of health topics. Rather than filtering which pieces may or may not apply to any individual’s health status – as some other sites do – we trust you’ll choose the best fit for your needs!

Professional Advice 

While we provide a wealth of information to help you traverse through health advice that may help you better understand what you are experiencing, the editorial information is not the same as seeking a professional or doctor. Always consult with qualified health providers if there are questions about any condition or treatment option before following information online and getting a case of the “WebMD-itis,” as in diagnosing yourself of a particular condition before actually seeking medical advice. The information on this site is not meant to treat or diagnose. 

We care about your healthcare needs and want you to be confident in the decisions that affect them. Whether it is news on new medications, advice for choosing between drugs, or something else entirely, we’ll provide helpful information with a personal touch from experienced professionals who genuinely understand how important this subject matter is!

The Quality of Our Articles

To give our readers the most accurate and up-to-date information possible, we draw from a wide range of sources, including medical organizations, scientific articles, and government agencies. Primarily among these is an in-depth interview process where each article or video has been personally reviewed by one of our members with years of experience working within the healthcare industry beyond just being writers for this publication. These dedicated professionals work hard to ensure everything you read on our site arrives with integrity. So please continue trusting us as your go-to place whenever there’s health news worth knowing.

Affiliate Links

The links on this website will lead you to our recommended products or services. We might receive an affiliate commission from your purchase, but there’s no extra charge for you as the customer. We wanted full transparency and to provide that information so that you are aware we may receive a commission from your purchases. It helps us immensely, and we appreciate you being a loyal reader and supporter.

Reliability and Reader Feedback

We are committed to establishing the reliability of our findings. To do this, we retract or correct articles published on our website when there’s clear evidence that these results can not be trusted due to either overt case(s) of misconduct such as 

• Data fabrication
• Honest errors
• Errors in miscalculations 
• Experimental errors 

We cross-reference all sources before publication, so nothing gets reused without permission. Plagiarism is also taken seriously and will not be tolerated. With this, we can ensure you receive the most reliable, usable, and trustworthy information on the web.
