Our Editorial Policy
Last updated: [06/10/2025]
ArticleRoof is committed to publishing people-first, practical, and trustworthy health information. Our goal is to help readers make informed decisions in partnership with qualified healthcare professionals.
Mission and Audience
We explain health topics in clear, simple language for everyday readers. We prioritize topics with high public interest, seasonal relevance, and strong evidence.
Content Creation Workflow
- Pitch & Outline – We choose topics based on reader needs, search interest, seasonality, and public health relevance.
- Research & Draft – Writers use high-quality sources (government health agencies, academic journals, medical societies, and textbooks).
- Editorial Review – Editors check clarity, structure, and usefulness, and verify that claims match cited evidence.
- Medical Review – Health articles that include medical facts, tests, diagnoses, or treatments undergo independent clinician review (see Medical Review Policy).
- Final Checks – Copy-editing, formatting, accessibility, and image compliance are completed before publishing.
Evidence and Sources
We rely on reputable primary sources and systematic reviews wherever possible. Each article includes references or source attributions at the end. We avoid sensational language and unverified claims.
Authors and Expertise
We work with experienced health writers and editors. Author names and short bios appear on articles. Where applicable, we add a Reviewed by line with the clinician’s name and credentials.
Conflicts of Interest
Writers, editors, and reviewers must disclose any financial or professional conflicts related to the topic. We do not accept gifts or incentives that could influence editorial decisions.
Corrections and Updates
We correct factual errors promptly and transparently. Substantive changes are noted with a Last updated date on the article. Routine refreshes for clarity or formatting may not be individually noted.
Sponsored Content and Advertising
Editorial content is created independently of advertisers and sponsors. Sponsored content, if any, is clearly labeled as such and complies with our Advertising Policy. Sponsors do not control editorial decisions.
Images and Visuals
We use images to inform, not to shock. Thumbnails and hero images are realistic, non-misleading, and free of overlaid text or watermarks. Captions and alt text are added for accessibility.
Accessibility
We strive to make our content accessible, readable on mobile devices, and optimized for fast loading. If you encounter accessibility barriers, contact us through the Contact page.
