Our Verification Process
Topic Research & Planning
Our editorial team identifies topics relevant to women's health and nutrition, then maps out the scope of coverage. We research what peer-reviewed evidence and professional guidelines exist on the topic, identify any areas of scientific consensus or debate, and plan article structure to reflect current understanding.
Source Collection & Evaluation
Writers conduct systematic searches across PubMed, Google Scholar, government health websites, and professional organization resources. Each source is evaluated for relevance, publication date, study quality, and whether it represents consensus or emerging evidence. Secondary sources are cross-referenced against primary research.
Content Draft & Fact-Checking
Article drafts are written with full source citations embedded. Every factual claim is traced back to its source. Numerical data, recommendations, and specific health-related statements are verified against original sources. Writers create a detailed reference list documenting all sources used in the article.
Editorial Review & Expert Approval
All articles undergo review by our editorial team and are assessed by a qualified nutrition expert or registered dietitian. Reviewers verify accuracy, check that claims are supported by cited sources, assess balance in presenting scientific evidence, and ensure the article meets our editorial standards for tone and accessibility.
Final Fact-Check & Publication
Before publication, all sources are verified to ensure links work and citations are accurate. The article is checked one final time for accuracy, clarity, and consistency with our editorial standards. Publication includes a complete reference list and author/reviewer credentials so readers can understand who wrote the content and why.
