Our Editorial Process

Now more than ever, information available online is used to help guide health and lifestyle decisions.

For this reason, we have a stringent editorial process that aims to support the publication of content that is trustworthy and reliable.

Despite this, we also want to make it clear that our content is not intended to be used as a substitute for professional medical or health advice. You should always contact a relevant, qualified health professional when making decisions regarding your health, lifestyle, diet or otherwise.

Writing Process

All article content published by Discussing Psychology is written by subject matter experts, many of whom have relevant degrees in the field of psychology.

Review Process

We have a firm commitment to generating content that is, to the best of our ability, trustworthy and reliable. As such, our review process aims to ensure accurate, up-to-date, relevant content that is based on credible, research-based sources.

After our subject-matter expert writers have completed each article, all content is then fact-checked by industry professionals with relevant qualifications and work experience in the field of psychology. Content is also edited to ensure it is easy-to-understand for members of the public who may not have backgrounds in psychology.

Process for Referencing

Sources used to write content are typically whitepapers, academic papers, research papers and content from other authoritative websites with stringent review and fact-checking processes in place.

Key concepts, assertions and claims made within articles are hyperlinked to the original source. All sources used within an article are also cited at the end of each piece of content in a reference list formatted to 7th Edition APA Style. Each claim and associated reference used is manually fact-checked by our editing team.
