Core Values

• Accuracy – every report must be factually correct and supported by credible evidence.
• Independence – editorial decisions are free from external or commercial influence.
• Integrity – we correct mistakes openly and disclose limitations clearly.
• Respect – we handle topics about illness, aging, and caregiving with care and empathy.

Accuracy And Fairness

Facts are checked against original sources whenever possible. Claims are presented in context with clear attribution. We avoid exaggeration and ensure that both potential benefits and risks are represented fairly.

Transparency And Disclosure

We disclose the credentials of contributors, reviewers, and editors when relevant to a report. Financial or institutional affiliations that could influence interpretation are declared in a clear, visible manner.

Independence

Brain Health Insider does not accept payment to favor any product, company, or treatment. Our editorial and commercial functions are separate. Commercial relationships, if any, are governed by our Advertising, Sponsorship & Affiliate Disclosure.

Sources And References

We prioritize peer-reviewed studies, clinical guidelines, and official public health sources. Each report cites or links to its primary references where possible so readers can verify context and evidence quality.

Plagiarism And Originality

All reports must represent original writing, analysis, or synthesis. We prohibit copying from external sources without attribution. Summaries of research are rewritten in our own words, with full credit to the original authors.

Sensitive Topics

When discussing conditions such as dementia, cognitive decline, or caregiving stress, we use empathetic and non-stigmatizing language. We avoid imagery or wording that could cause unnecessary fear or shame.

Editorial Corrections

Errors or ambiguities identified after publication are corrected promptly under our Corrections & Updates Policy. Each update is reviewed by an editor and, when needed, by a medical reviewer.

Conflicts Of Interest

Authors, editors, and reviewers must disclose any relevant financial or professional interests. If a conflict could affect objectivity, the individual will not participate in decisions about that report’s content.

Our Commitment To Transparency

This policy works alongside our Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, and all other published policies on BrainHealthInsider.com to help you understand how we operate as an independent online medical publication.
