Our Editorial Policy
Last reviewed: 12 April 2026
Our Commitment to Quality
MyHematology.com is a dedicated hematology education platform built for medical and allied health sciences students. Because our content sits at the intersection of medicine and education, we hold ourselves to the same standards of accuracy, transparency, and accountability expected of professional medical publishers.
This page explains who creates our content, how it is developed, and how we ensure it meets the educational and clinical standards our readers deserve.
Who We Are
MyHematology.com is an independently operated medical education platform. All content published on this site is developed by the MyHematology Editorial Team, a structured editorial operation working under the oversight of our Editor-in-Chief.
Our Editor-in-Chief serves in a consulting capacity, bringing over 15 years of experience in medical and allied health sciences education to the platform. She is responsible for defining and upholding the editorial standards, reviewing content for medical accuracy, and ensuring every article meets the learning needs of our student audience.
As we grow, our editorial team is expanding to include independent medical reviewers; practicing clinicians and academics who bring additional specialist expertise to our content. Articles that have been through this independent review process are clearly marked with a “Medically Reviewed by” label, including the reviewer’s name and credentials.

Medical Reviewers
As our reviewer panel develops, all contributing reviewers will be listed here with their credentials and areas of specialty. Articles reviewed by a named clinician or academic will carry their credit directly on the article page.
Our reviewer panel is currently being established. Watch this space.
How Our Content Is Created
Step 1 – Topic Selection
Topics are selected based on core medical and allied health sciences curricula, high-frequency examination content, and areas where students consistently require clearer explanation. Our Editor-in-Chief determines topic priority based on her extensive experience in teaching these subjects at an undergraduate and postgraduate level.
Step 2 – Research and Drafting
Each article is developed by the MyHematology Editorial Team through a structured review of primary and secondary sources. These include peer-reviewed journals, established hematology textbooks, and current clinical guidelines from recognised bodies. Our editorial approach prioritises clarity and educational relevance without compromising clinical accuracy.
Step 3 – Editorial Review
Every article is reviewed by our Editor-in-Chief before publication. This review assesses the article for medical accuracy, appropriate depth for the intended student audience, alignment with current guidelines, and overall educational quality.
Step 4 – Independent Medical Review (In Progress)
We are currently implementing an independent medical review stage for all articles, conducted by external clinicians and academics. This process is being rolled out across both new and existing content. Articles that have completed this stage are clearly marked with the reviewer’s name and credentials. Articles not yet marked are actively being queued for review.
Step 5 – Publication
Approved articles are published with a clear indication of the editorial team responsible, the date of first publication, and the date of most recent update. Where independent medical review has been completed, the reviewer’s name and credentials appear on the article.
Step 6 – Ongoing Review and Updates
Published articles are audited on a rolling basis to ensure they remain current with evolving clinical guidelines and medical consensus. Any article that undergoes a substantive update will have its Last Updated date revised accordingly. We prioritise updating high-traffic and clinically time-sensitive content first.
