Editorial Policy

Independence

Nursing News India is editorially independent. Our reporters and editors make news decisions without input from advertisers, sponsors, or any commercial partner. Sponsored content is always clearly labelled and clearly separated from news.

Accuracy

Every news story is verified against at least one primary source (official notification, court order, government release, named expert, or first-hand reporter observation). Where data is involved, we link to the source dataset whenever possible.

Sourcing

• Named sources are preferred. We use background sources only when public-interest reporting requires it and we’ve verified the information independently.
• Quotes are presented in full where context matters. Where we shorten, we mark with ellipses and ensure the meaning is preserved.
• AI-generated content is not published as original reporting. We may use AI for translation, transcription, or summarisation — when we do, the article is clearly flagged.

Clinical review

Stories that include clinical recommendations, dosing information, or specific care protocols are reviewed by a member of our Advisory Panel before publication. Reviewed stories carry a “Clinically reviewed” badge with the reviewer’s name and credentials.

Conflicts of interest

Every contributor declares relevant interests (employment, board roles, paid consultancies, equity). Where a conflict exists, it is either disclosed in the byline or the contributor recuses themselves from that story. Our advisory board members do not write the stories they review.

Distinguishing news, analysis, and opinion

• News — what happened. Verifiable facts only.
• Analysis — interpretation of news. Identifies the writer’s view; supported by reasoning.
• Opinion — argument or stance. Author byline includes their role.

Each article carries a content-type badge so you can see at a glance which category it falls into.

Comments and community

We don’t host comments on individual articles. We invite discussion on NursingAtoms’ community space where conversations are moderated against our published community guidelines.
