Content Review Process

The addition of content items to the Knowledge Base is carefully controlled in order to set and maintain a consistently high standard.  If an item is reviewed and recommended by the Managing Editor and two readers from the Editorial Board, it may be brought before the Editorial Board for approval.  Upon approval of the Editorial Board, the item is added to the Knowledge Base. 

Conflict of Interest Statement  

All board members must adhere to a high standard of ethics. Under no circumstances should a board member unfairly gain personal or financial profit from any interactions or transactions related to the Knowledge Base.    

In the event that an editorial board member has written an article that is being considered for inclusion in the Knowledge Base site, the board will acknowledge that there is a potential conflict of interest and therefore, this board member must not be present during the review of his or her piece during this portion of the editorial board meeting. Any member of the group should highlight any perceived conflict of interest during the review process of potential additions to the Knowledge Base.

If a board member has advised, assisted, or participated in the creation of an article that is being considered for inclusion in the Knowledge Base, this board member cannot be one of the three initial reviewers recommending the piece to the editorial board. This board member is permitted to partake in the discussion and review of the piece during the board meeting.
