Editorial Policy

Sourcing

Articles are built primarily from peer-reviewed medical journals, clinical practice guidelines from recognized health authorities, statements from professional medical associations, and interviews with practicing physicians or specialists where relevant. Writers are asked to cite primary sources rather than relying solely on secondary summaries, and claims about supplements, treatments, or lifestyle interventions are checked against the strength of the underlying evidence before publication.

Review process

Before publication, articles pass through at least one round of editorial review focused on factual accuracy, appropriate sourcing, and clarity for a general readership without a medical background. Where an article covers a clinical topic such as a diagnosis, medication, or treatment protocol, the editorial team seeks additional input from someone with relevant medical or scientific training before the piece goes live.

Corrections

When an error is identified, whether through internal review or reader feedback, the article is corrected as soon as practical and a visible note is added indicating what changed and when. Readers who spot an inaccuracy or an outdated recommendation are encouraged to contact the editorial team so the correction process can begin promptly.

Advertising and independence

Kestrel Journal accepts sponsored content and affiliate partnerships from brands in the health, fitness, and wellness space, but sponsors have no influence over editorial conclusions, article structure, or the selection of cited research. Any paid relationship is disclosed directly on the relevant page, and sponsorship never determines whether a health claim is presented as supported or unsupported by evidence.
