MedEd Pesticide Editorial Policy
MedEd Pesticide explains the rules it follows when it writes, sources and corrects its pesticide content.
MedEd Pesticide Writes for Clinicians and People Who Work Around Pesticides
MedEd Pesticide covers pesticide exposure, poisoning, toxicology and regulation. The guides assume basic clinical knowledge and aim to give a fast, well-sourced answer.
MedEd Pesticide Requires a Public Source for Every Claim
MedEd Pesticide accepts a claim when an official body, a manual or peer-reviewed research supports it. Two independent sources can also support a claim. MedEd Pesticide links to the primary source wherever one exists. MedEd Pesticide builds each guide from a research brief that lists its sources. MedEd Pesticide checks the guide against that brief before publishing. The sources page lists the sources.
MedEd Pesticide Stays Independent of Pesticide Companies
MedEd Pesticide accepts no sponsorship from pesticide or agrochemical companies. MedEd Pesticide is not affiliated with any state health department, university or regulatory agency.
MedEd Pesticide Corrects Confirmed Errors
MedEd Pesticide corrects a confirmed error on the page and records the change on the corrections and changelog page. Readers can report an error through the contact page, with the page link and what has changed.
MedEd Pesticide Updates Pages When Its Sources Change
MedEd Pesticide shows a retrieval date on each database page and an updated date on each guide. A reader can see how current a page is before relying on it. The medical disclaimer sets the limits on use.
