Editorial Policy

At NetDoctorCenter.com, we follow a strict editorial policy to ensure the integrity, quality, and reliability of every article we publish. We believe in honest health communication that puts the reader’s safety and well-being first.

Core Values

Our editorial policy is grounded in these principles:

  • Accuracy – Information must be evidence-based and medically sound.

  • Transparency – Authors and medical reviewers are clearly identified.

  • Accountability – We correct errors and update outdated content.

  • Clarity – We explain health topics in accessible, reader-friendly language.

  • Trust – We avoid sensationalism, pseudoscience, and bias.

How Our Content Is Created

Each article goes through a structured editorial workflow:

Step 1: Topic Selection

Topics are selected based on:

  • Reader interest and relevance

  • Frequently searched health questions

  • Seasonal or trending health concerns

  • Gaps in existing trustworthy health content

Step 2: Initial Research

Before writing, the author:

  • Conducts a literature review using trusted medical sources like:

    • PubMed

    • Mayo Clinic

    • WHO

    • NHS

    • CDC

  • Gathers clinical guidelines, treatment protocols, and recent studies

  • Notes any areas of controversy, evolving science, or known misinformation

Step 3: Draft Writing

Articles are written by Anastasia Hansen, an educated nursing assistant with real hospital experience and a background in health-focused digital media.

She ensures that each article:

  • Avoids medical jargon (or explains it clearly)

  • Breaks down complex health issues in simple language

  • Reflects current medical knowledge and care standards

  • Includes real-world context or practical examples when appropriate

No AI-generated articles are published. All core content is written by a human with medical understanding.

Step 4: Fact-Checking and Citation

Once a draft is written:

  • All claims are reviewed against primary medical sources

  • Citations are added to support statements where relevant

  • Outdated or non-evidence-based material is removed

Step 5: Medical Review (When Applicable)

Topics that touch on oncology, cancer, or complex diagnoses are reviewed by:

  • Dr. Sergey Prikhodko, a practicing PhD-level oncologist based in Saint Petersburg, Russia

  • He verifies accuracy, flags inconsistencies, and ensures that recommendations are medically sound

  • Dr. Prikhodko reviews content related to his area of expertise only

Other medical topics are cross-referenced with official clinical guidelines or public health documents.

Step 6: Final Editing

Before publication:

  • The article is edited for structure, flow, and clarity

  • SEO best practices are applied (without sacrificing readability)

  • Images, charts, or references are added if available

Step 7: Publication and Monitoring

After publishing:

  • Articles are monitored for engagement and reader feedback

  • Content is scheduled for regular review (typically every 6–12 months)

  • If new studies or guidelines emerge, articles are updated accordingly

Conflicts of Interest and Sponsorship

  • NetDoctorCenter.com does not accept sponsored medical content.

  • We do not promote products or treatments in exchange for compensation.

  • If an article mentions a brand, device, or medication, it is for informational purposes only.
