HealthManagement.org and ICU Management & Practice are independent professional publishing platforms operated by MindByte Communications Ltd.
These platforms provide leadership, management, policy, clinical practice, and systems-level insights for healthcare professionals and institutional stakeholders worldwide.
This document defines the Editorial Governance framework applicable to all content published on HealthManagement.org and ICU Management & Practice.
The framework ensures editorial independence, transparency, ethical integrity, and a clear separation between editorial and commercial activities.
1. Editorial Independence and Responsibility
All editorial decisions, including topic selection, commissioning, authorship, review, editing, and publication, are made exclusively under editorial responsibility.
Editorial judgement is independent of commercial, advertising, sponsorship, or partnership influences.
2. Ethical and Journalistic Standards
Both platforms adhere strictly to internationally recognised ethical and journalistic principles, including accuracy, fairness, clarity, separation of fact and opinion,
protection of sources, respect for diverse perspectives, and prompt correction of factual errors.
3. Content Categories and Editorial Treatment
This framework applies to all content categories, including:
- Editorial articles, interviews, opinions, news, blogs, and congress reports
- Journal and library articles (reviewed but not peer-reviewed)
- Community and educational content supported by unrestricted educational grants
- Point-of-View content (curated or sponsor-authored, with clear disclosure)
- Industry content, white papers, and case studies
- Events, highlights, and professional reporting
4. Transparency and Disclosure
Sponsorship, commercial involvement, author affiliations, and conflicts of interest are disclosed clearly and visibly.
Disclosure is made to ensure transparency and does not necessarily imply bias.
5. Content Lifecycle and Corrections
Content is treated as a professional record. Articles may be updated for accuracy or clarity, with corrections made transparently and historical context preserved.
6. Audience and Use of Content
All content is intended for qualified healthcare professionals and institutional stakeholders.
It does not replace clinical guidance, regulatory advice, legal counsel, or institutional policy.
7. Review of Governance
This Editorial Governance framework is reviewed periodically to ensure alignment with evolving professional standards and best practices.
This framework applies to all content
published on HealthManagement.org and ICU Management & Practice.
