Editorial Policy

How we create, review, and maintain medical content on mapcalculator.org.

Last updated: 2025-11-12

We follow clear standards to ensure our tools and explanations are accurate, readable, and safe for clinical use by professionals.

Principles

  • Evidence-based and clinically relevant explanations with clear formulas and assumptions.
  • Original writing aimed at clinicians; no plagiarism or thinly rewritten content.
  • Clear audience restriction: for licensed medical professionals and supervised trainees.
  • Regular updates with version notes and dates when material changes.

Editorial process

  1. Author drafts content in plain language with references.
  2. Internal medical review for accuracy and clarity.
  3. Localization review for meaning fidelity (not raw machine output).

Citations and sources

We cite trustworthy sources such as society guidelines, textbooks, and peer‑reviewed articles where appropriate.

Corrections and feedback

If you spot an issue, contact [email protected] and we will review and update promptly with a public note when material.
