WHML.ORG’s publishing policy covers journals, research articles, reports, books, educational materials and digital content. Its central principles are scientific quality, impartial assessment, ethical conduct and access to knowledge. Different formats require different review processes; an institutional news item and a scholarly research article should not be presented as if they have undergone the same assessment.
