Editorial Policy
What this page is
This page explains how Women's Bioethics decides what to publish, how we research and source our articles, and what we do when we get something wrong. It applies to every article on the site. Women's Bioethics is operated by Inter Media Digital Marketing LLC.
What we publish, and why
Women's Bioethics publishes two kinds of writing. The first is explanatory: articles on women's health, bioethics, and the practical decisions around them, alongside declared coverage of household finance and modern lifestyle topics, laying out what is known, what it costs, and how the realistic options compare. The second is personal essay: first person pieces about living inside these questions. Essays are written as essays and read as essays; they do not present themselves as reporting, and they carry a disclaimer saying so.
How we research and source
Health content is held to the strictest bar on this site, because getting it wrong can hurt someone. Any medical or clinical claim we keep must be traceable to a primary authority: government health agencies such as the NIH, CDC, and FDA, the World Health Organization, or peer reviewed research reachable through PubMed. Where a claim meets that bar we link the source next to the claim. Where it does not, we do one of two things: soften the sentence to what is honestly known, or remove it. A specific figure attributed to a named organization stays in an article only if we verified it at that organization. We prefer the source document over a summary of it, and when sources disagree we say so or give the range.
Costs and rules change. Every figure reflects what we found at the time of writing or the most recent review; for anything that affects your health or your money, confirm the current number with the provider, program, or your own clinician before acting.
What we refuse to do
No miracle claims: nothing here cures, guarantees, or transforms, and if a claim sounds too good our job is to check it, not repeat it. No manufactured urgency. No sponsored rankings: no company can pay to be included, recommended, or mentioned favorably, and brands do not see articles before publication. No professional advice: articles about health, money, or law are general information, written by researchers and writers, not by licensed clinicians or advisers, and we say that plainly rather than hedge.
Who writes this site
Articles are written by a small team publishing under pen names, disclosed openly. Each pen name belongs to one real person who does the research and writing behind it. Pen names on this site never claim credentials, professions, or qualifications; there are no invented author photos and no fake social profiles, because inventing either would cross from privacy into deception. Author pages describe what each writer covers and how they verify it, not who they legally are. Accountability sits with Inter Media Digital Marketing LLC as publisher, not with a name.
AI assistance
We use software, including AI tools, in parts of our research and drafting workflow. We are direct about what that means: no article is published by a machine on its own. Human editors review, check, and take responsibility for what appears under every byline, and the sourcing bar above applies regardless of how a draft began. If an article fails that bar, the fault and the fix are ours, not a tool's.
Corrections
When we get something wrong, we fix it. If you find an error in any article, a wrong figure, an outdated rule presented as current, a claim that does not hold, email info@womensbioethics.org with a link to the article and what needs fixing. You do not need to prove the error; pointing at it is enough. We verify, correct the article, and log substantive corrections on our corrections page. Significant site wide changes are recorded on our changelog.
