Our editorial standards

Our Commitment

INA is dedicated to providing trustworthy, evidence-based health content that meets the highest standards of medical accuracy. We understand that the health information we publish directly impacts the decisions our patients and readers make about their well-being. That responsibility drives every piece of content we create. Our editorial team works alongside licensed healthcare professionals to ensure that every article, guide, and treatment description is clinically sound, up to date, and presented in a way that empowers you to take control of your health with confidence.

Medical Review Process

Rigorous medical review is the foundation of our editorial process. We hold every piece of health-related content to the same clinical standard before it reaches you.

• Every piece of health content is reviewed by a licensed healthcare provider before publication
• Our medical reviewers are board-certified physicians or nurse practitioners with relevant clinical expertise
• The review process evaluates clinical accuracy, appropriate context, potential risks, and completeness of information
• All reviewed content clearly displays the reviewer's name, credentials, and the date the review was completed
• Published articles are re-reviewed when new clinical evidence emerges or existing guidelines are updated

Content Standards

Our content adheres to strict editorial guidelines designed to ensure accuracy, transparency, and accessibility:

• All health claims must be supported by peer-reviewed research or established clinical guidelines
• Citations link directly to original sources, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and peer-reviewed medical journals
• Content is written at an 8th-grade reading level for accessibility, ensuring complex medical topics are understandable to a broad audience
• We do not publish misleading before-and-after claims or exaggerated treatment outcomes
• Treatment limitations, potential side effects, and risks are presented transparently alongside benefits
• There is always a clear distinction between editorial content and advertising or sponsored material

Author Standards

We maintain strict requirements for everyone who contributes health content to our platform:

• Health content is written by qualified health writers with demonstrated subject-matter expertise, or by licensed clinicians
• Author credentials, professional background, and areas of expertise are displayed alongside their published content
• All authors are required to disclose any conflicts of interest, financial relationships, or affiliations that could influence their work

Corrections Policy

We take the accuracy of our content seriously. When errors are identified, we act promptly and transparently:

• Factual errors are corrected within 24 hours of identification, and a visible correction notice is appended to the content
• Outdated information is updated with the latest evidence and assigned a new medical review date
• Errors reported by readers, healthcare professionals, or internal audits are investigated promptly and resolved with full transparency
