Editorial Guidelines

Updated on: 26 April 2023

Our mission and values

Wellnesspulse is an independent online publisher with the mission to educate people by providing science-led information on various health-related topics in a language that is easy to understand.

As we aim to improve the well-being of people in the US and worldwide, we fully understand the responsibility that comes with covering health-related topics. Therefore, our content is created by professional journalists and med-writers (MDs, ODs, RNs, etc.) who are recognized experts in their fields. However, we understand that sometimes mistakes are unavoidable; thus, we have the Board of Medical Advisors and fact-checkers to revise our content and ensure that everything we publish is accurate, clear, scientific evidence-based and reflects the latest in research.

We strive to ensure accuracy in every piece of content, and we strictly follow our Editorial Guidelines that are dedicated to maintaining the integrity and independence of our company.

We provide health-related information from top experts but do not intend to replace medical care — we encourage our readers to seek professional help if they have any health issues.

Editorial integrity and independence

The Editorial team, contributors, and the Board of Medical Advisors value freedom of speech and are committed to independent, ethical, and fair journalism. Therefore, our content is not influenced by any academic, business, or political affiliations.

We do not submit our content to any third-party for pre-publication review or approval as well as our authors never accept gifts, payments, free travel, or other benefits in exchange for favorable coverage. However, any existing or possible conflict of interest or relationship (financial, professional, personal, or otherwise) is explicitly disclosed to our readers in every publication.

Advertisements are always clearly labeled on Wellnesspulse website, and we do not give favorable treatment for advertisers. Read our Terms & Conditions to learn more about this process.

Our goal is to represent different views and opinions that are science-led and come from professionals in their fields.

Work principles

We use reliable sources, such as studies from peer-reviewed journals and information from educational institutions and non-profit organizations. We always inform readers about the weaknesses and limitations of the sources we use.

At Wellnesspulse, the interviewees or experts of the relevant field are accurately quoted, and their words or statements are never presented out of context or otherwise distorted. Interviewees or experts whose affiliations could potentially pose a conflict of interest are not interviewed.

The content published on Wellnesspulse is clear of hate speech, unnecessarily sensational content, distortion, exaggeration, bias, carelessness, half-truths, and deceit.

We monitor and update our content regularly to make sure we’re sharing the most up-to-date and accurate information possible.

We always correct mistakes in our content, if any, and disclose what and when was corrected.

Being committed to diversity, Wellnesspulse aims to amplify different voices and experiences. Our authors always strive to identify and overcome their own biases, therefore, our content is created in a clear and unbiased way.

We use conscious language — we see persons first and do not use their condition to define them. We choose empathy over the victimization of people with health problems.
