People stay responsible for the work.
The Gates Brain Health Editorial Team plans topics, checks search needs, gathers sources, and prepares drafts. Writing tools, including AI, may help with research notes, outlines, and early drafts.
Dr. Randall Gates reviews each new clinical article before it can move to publication. The approval record names the exact draft and version he reviewed. A reply to an email does not publish the article.
Health claims need sound sources.
We prefer government health agencies, medical boards, clinical guidance, and peer-reviewed research. Each article links to the sources used for its health claims so readers can check them.
We do not turn an early finding, a small study, or a theory into a promise. When experts do not know the answer, we say so.
Review applies to one exact version.
A clinical approval covers only the title, summary, sections, links, and other content in the named version. Any later clinical change creates a new version and needs fresh approval.
The public article shows its author, medical reviewer, publication date, update date, and source list. Drafts and review notes stay private.
We correct clear errors and date real updates.
If we find a factual error, broken source, or unclear medical limit, we review the article and correct it. A meaningful change updates the date and returns the clinical content to review.
We do not change dates just to make an old page look new. The date should tell readers when the content last changed in a useful way.
An article cannot evaluate a person.
Our articles teach in general terms. They do not diagnose, choose treatment, replace a medical visit, or promise a result.
Readers should call 911 for a medical emergency. For questions about their own health, they should speak with an appropriate health professional and keep private health details out of ordinary email and website messages.
