Editorial Policies

Last updated: September 24, 2026

Our purpose

RX Harun provides educational medical and health information for patients, families, students, and future health professionals.

Our guiding idea is:

“Hope without false promises. Detail without confusion.”

Our goal is to make medical information easier to understand, help readers ask better questions, and support informed conversations with qualified healthcare professionals.

RX Harun does not replace personal medical examination, diagnosis, treatment, or professional clinical judgment.

1. Our editorial principles

We aim for content that is:

• medically responsible;
• understandable;
• evidence-informed;
• transparent about uncertainty;
• respectful to patients and healthcare professionals;
• free from exaggerated treatment claims;
• clear about when professional or urgent care may be needed.

We prefer accuracy over attention, clarity over complexity, and usefulness over unnecessary technical language.

2. Evidence and sources

Medical information should distinguish established knowledge from emerging research, expert interpretation, and areas of uncertainty.

Where appropriate, RX Harun may consult:

• clinical guidelines;
• peer-reviewed medical literature;
• systematic reviews and meta-analyses;
• professional medical societies;
• government and public-health agencies;
• medicine and medical-device regulators;
• recognized academic and healthcare institutions;
• respected medical textbooks and reference sources.

Important clinical claims should, where practical, be supported by credible and appropriate references.

A single study is not automatically treated as definitive evidence.

3. How we prepare content

Historical content
RX Harun contains a large medical knowledge library developed over many years. Some older articles may predate the current editorial standards described on this page. We are progressively reviewing, updating, reorganizing, or retiring older material when appropriate. The presence of an older article does not mean that it has recently undergone the complete current editorial workflow.

Our general editorial workflow is:

Research → Draft → Evidence check → Editorial or medical review when applicable → Publish → Update or correct when needed

Not every article requires the same workflow, but the final published content remains the responsibility of RX Harun.

4. Writing for patients and learners

Medical terminology can be difficult.

We try to explain complex subjects in plain language while retaining useful medical terms for readers who want to study more deeply.

Articles may include sections such as:

• overview;
• symptoms;
• causes;
• risk factors;
• diagnosis;
• investigations;
• treatment;
• rehabilitation;
• prevention;
• complications;
• prognosis;
• when to seek medical attention;
• references.

Not every topic requires every section.

5. Medical information and individual care

RX Harun does not diagnose individual readers.

General information cannot account for every person’s:

• age;
• medical history;
• symptoms;
• examination findings;
• allergies;
• pregnancy status;
• kidney or liver function;
• other diseases;
• medicines;
• laboratory or imaging results;
• individual risks and circumstances.

Readers should discuss important medical decisions with an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

6. Medicines, tests, and treatment

Information about medicines, procedures, laboratory tests, imaging, rehabilitation, surgery, nutrition, and other treatments is educational.

A medicine should not be started, stopped, substituted, increased, or decreased solely because of information found on RX Harun.

Likewise, a laboratory or imaging result should not be interpreted without appropriate clinical context.

Reference ranges, treatment recommendations, approved indications, and healthcare practices may differ between locations and populations.

7. Authors and medical reviewers

Where authorship information is displayed, it should accurately identify the person responsible for preparing or substantially contributing to the content.

Professional qualifications and areas of expertise should be presented accurately.

If no separate medical review occurred, RX Harun should not imply that one did.

8. Updates and corrections

Medical knowledge changes.

Articles may be reviewed or updated because of:

• new clinical guidelines;
• new research;
• regulatory changes;
• safety information;
• treatment changes;
• corrections;
• improvements in clarity or organization.

A “last updated” date should reflect a genuine review or meaningful change.

When a correction could materially affect a reader’s understanding of diagnosis, treatment, risk, or safety, RX Harun aims to correct it clearly and promptly.

Minor spelling, formatting, or readability changes may be made without a formal correction notice.

9. Artificial intelligence and digital tools

RX Harun may use artificial intelligence, search tools, software, editing systems, or other technology to assist with:

• research organization;
• drafting;
• readability;
• structure;
• technical website work;
• identifying possible omissions.

These tools do not replace human editorial responsibility.

Medical claims, references, and important safety information should be reviewed before publication.

AI-generated or AI-assisted material should not be treated as authoritative simply because it was produced by a computer system.

10. Independence and conflicts of interest

Editorial decisions should be based primarily on:

• medical relevance;
• educational value;
• evidence;
• reader needs;
• safety.

Advertising, affiliate relationships, sponsorships, gifts, commercial relationships, or outside pressure should not determine medical conclusions.

Where a relevant financial or professional conflict of interest exists, it should be disclosed when appropriate.

Payment should never purchase a favorable medical conclusion.

11. Images, external material, and contributors

RX Harun may include original material and third-party material used under permission, license, applicable law, public-domain status, embedding or linking arrangements, or another appropriate basis. Attribution is provided where required or appropriate. Rights in third-party material remain with their respective owners.

If a rights holder believes material has been used improperly, they may contact RX Harun through our Copyright & Takedown Policy.

Guest authors and outside contributors should follow the same editorial standards as internal content.

Submission does not guarantee publication.

12. Sensitive and high-risk topics

Topics involving severe illness, disability, mental health, reproductive health, trauma, end-of-life care, emergency symptoms, or other sensitive matters should be handled with particular care.

We aim to avoid:

• unnecessary fear;
• stigma;
• sensationalism;
• unrealistic promises;
• guaranteed cures;
• guaranteed prevention;
• misleading reassurance.

Where urgent professional assessment may be necessary, the article should say so clearly.

RX Harun is not an emergency medical service.

13. Reader feedback

Good-faith feedback is welcome.

Readers may report:

• factual errors;
• outdated information;
• broken links;
• unclear wording;
• copyright concerns;
• accessibility issues;
• technical problems.

Where evidence is uncertain or professional guidance differs, RX Harun may explain the uncertainty rather than present an unsupported single answer.

14. Editorial responsibility

RX Harun retains editorial responsibility for publication decisions on the website, regardless of whether research, editing, software, artificial intelligence, outside contributors, or other tools assisted in preparing the material.

Technology can assist the work.

It does not replace editorial responsibility.

15. Our commitment

RX Harun will continue working to improve the:

• accuracy;
• clarity;
• organization;
• accessibility;
• usefulness;
• safety

of its medical knowledge library.

Medicine changes. Evidence changes. Technology changes.

Our responsibility therefore does not end when an article is first published.

It continues through review, correction, updating, and learning.
