Editorial Standards & Fact-Checking Policy
Aligned with WHO, MOHP Nepal, DoHS, and NHRC scientific dissemination criteria.
1. Evidence Hierarchy & Source Verification
Every news article, disease outbreak bulletin, policy analysis, and clinical protocol published on www.phcnepal.com must meet rigorous evidentiary standards:
- Primary Official Sources: Ministry of Health and Population (MOHP Nepal), Department of Health Services (DoHS), Epidemiology and Disease Control Division (EDCD), and World Health Organization (WHO SEARO).
- Statutory & Research Authorities: Nepal Health Research Council (NHRC), Medical Education Commission (MEC), Nepal Medical Council (NMC), and accredited university medical faculties.
- Peer-Reviewed Literature: PubMed, PubMed Central, Cochrane Reviews, Journal of the Nepal Medical Association (JNMA), and leading global public health journals.
2. Multi-Tier Peer Review Workflow
Before publication, clinical guidelines and epidemiological updates undergo review by public health professionals (BPH, MPH, MD Community Medicine) to verify data accuracy, statistical validity, and clinical appropriateness in resource-limited South Asian settings.
3. Transparent Correction & Errata Policy
PHC-Nepal is committed to immediate transparency. If an error of fact or epidemiological metric is identified, our editorial board publishes a prominent correction notice at the top of the article detailing the date of change, the original wording, and the verified correction.
4. Editorial Independence & Conflict of Interest
Editorial decisions are made strictly on scientific merit and public health benefit. We maintain a strict separation between advertising operations and editorial journalism. No advertiser or sponsor may influence the content of our clinical guides, study notes, or outbreak reports.
