Our Editorial Review Process
How we check content for accuracy and keep it current. No pretend doctors — just an honest look at how we work.
What We Are (and Are Not)
The GLPSpot is run by researchers and writers, not doctors or dietitians. We do not have a medical review board. We verify every medical claim against published research, FDA drug labels, and clinical practice guidelines — but we are clear that this is editorial review, not clinical review. If you are a qualified health professional and spot an error, please contact us so we can correct it.
How We Review Content
Every article with medical claims goes through a verification step before publication. Here is the process:
Article drafted by writer
The writer researches the topic using primary sources and drafts the article following our style guide.
Source verification
Every medical claim is checked against the cited source. We confirm the study actually says what we say it says, that drug doses match current FDA labels, and that safety guidance aligns with clinical guidelines.
Editorial review
A second editor reviews for clarity, accuracy, and tone. Any flagged issues go back to the writer for revision.
Published with review attribution
The article goes live showing who wrote it and when it was last reviewed.
Scheduled re-review
Articles are re-reviewed at regular intervals to catch new research, drug approvals, or guideline changes.
Source Standards
We rely on these sources, in order of preference:
- Peer-reviewed journals and systematic reviews
- FDA drug labels and regulatory documents
- Clinical practice guidelines from major medical societies
- Government health agencies (NIH, CDC, NIDDK)
- Reputable medical institutions and academic centers
We do not cite pharmaceutical marketing materials as primary sources for clinical claims.
Review Schedule
Health information changes. We re-review content on this schedule:
| Content Type | Review Frequency |
|---|---|
| Medication guides | Every 90 days |
| Side effects articles | Every 6 months |
| Nutrition articles | Every 6 months |
| News and updates | As needed (event-driven) |
Important
The GLPSpot provides general information, not medical advice. Our editorial team verifies facts against published sources, but we are not a substitute for professional medical care. Always talk to your own doctor about your specific situation.
