Our Commitment to Medical Accuracy
At Aevum News, health and medical journalism carries a heightened responsibility. Misinformation in this domain doesn't just mislead—it can harm. Our medical review process is built on peer-validated standards, editorial independence, and a zero-tolerance policy for unverified health claims.
Core Principle: Every article touching on diagnoses, treatments, clinical trials, public health policy, or medical research must pass through our dedicated Health & Science Desk before publication.
The Four-Step Review Process
From initial pitch to final publication, our medical content undergoes rigorous verification at every stage.
Sourcing & Pre-Screening
Reporters must cite peer-reviewed journals, official health agencies, or verified clinical data. Preprints and conference abstracts are clearly labeled as provisional.
Editorial Health Desk Review
A dedicated medical editor checks terminology, dosage references, statistical claims, and contextual accuracy against current clinical guidelines.
External Expert Validation
Complex or high-impact stories are sent to our independent Medical Advisory Board for blind peer review before going live.
Post-Publication Monitoring
We track retractions, updated guidelines, and new clinical data. Articles are updated with timestamps and version logs when necessary.
