Editorial Standards

How we work today

Sourcing

We prioritize peer-reviewed literature, regulatory guidance, and major medical institutions. When summarizing emerging research, we identify it as such and avoid overstating findings.

Medical review status

Clinical review is being established. Until a named reviewer is in place, clinical pages are marked "Not yet clinically reviewed." rather than carrying a review badge.

Evidence grading

We describe evidence in plain language and note its strength: well-established, emerging, preliminary, or limited. We do not present preliminary findings as settled science.

Editorial independence and ethics

• No paid placements presented as editorial content.
• No miracle claims, sensationalism, or pressure tactics.
• Patient stories are published with informed consent and identifying details adjusted as needed.
• Conflicts of interest are disclosed.

Ketalux does not accept compensation from providers in exchange for favorable editorial coverage, evidence ratings, recommendations, patient referrals, or organic provider ranking.

AI use

Where AI tools assist in research or drafting, the resulting content is reviewed by a human editor. Clinical review by a qualified clinician is a requirement we are working toward, not a step that has been completed on current pages. AI is not used to generate unsourced medical claims.

Corrections

When we make a meaningful factual error, we correct it visibly and note the correction at the bottom of the article. Substantive updates are timestamped.

What this site is — and is not

Ketalux is an independent educational publisher. Ketalux is not a clinic, prescriber, treatment program, or affiliate funnel. We do not provide individual medical advice. For care decisions, please work with a licensed clinician who knows your history.

What we are building

The following are commitments, not current practice. This page will be updated as each is implemented.

• Independent clinical review of appropriate clinical content.
• Named reviewers.
• Published reviewer credentials.
• Review dates displayed on articles.
• Expanded medical editorial participation.

When a clinical reviewer is in place, a completed review will require a named reviewer, their credentials, and the date of review, displayed on the article itself. We will not display a completed-review badge without all three. Qualified clinicians can learn more on our contributor page.
