Editorial Standards and Policies
We take pride in providing information that is both editorially independent and of the highest quality. Our editorial boards select, create, and rigorously review all content, and the Massachusetts Medical Society Committee on Publications (which also oversees the New England Journal of Medicine) and the Journal Watch Editorial Advisory Board provide additional guidance. The Editorial Advisory Board also implements and monitors policies on conflicts of interest and editorial-board terms of service.
