At NJMDR (New Journal of Medical & Dental Research), accuracy is the foundation of our journalism. We are committed to publishing medically and scientifically reliable information that readers can trust. This Fact Check & Correction Policy outlines how we validate content, verify claims, review research, and correct mistakes if and when they occur.
Our goal is to maintain credibility, transparency, and editorial integrity, ensuring that every article represents factual, unbiased, and well-researched information.
1. Commitment to Accuracy
We strive to ensure that all published content is:
- Factually correct
- Supported by credible scientific sources
- Based on verified information
- Updated with the latest research findings
We never compromise on accuracy, especially when dealing with medical and dental research that directly influences public understanding.
2. How We Fact-Check Content
Each article undergoes a thorough fact-checking process before publication. Our editorial team verifies information using:
- Peer-reviewed journals
- Scientific publications and databases
- Research institutions and universities
- Government health authorities (ICMR, MoHFW, CDC, WHO, NIH, ADA, etc.)
- Verified statements from qualified experts
- Authentic medical conference reports and clinical trial results
No article is approved for publication unless the core facts are fully validated.
3. Use of Primary Sources
NJMDR prioritizes primary scientific sources, such as:
- Original research papers
- Meta-analyses
- Systematic reviews
- Clinical trial results
- Government-issued reports
Whenever secondary sources are used, they are cross-checked for credibility and authenticity.
4. Avoiding Misinformation
We do not publish:
- Unverified scientific claims
- Exaggerated medical statements
- Promotional health content
- Misleading interpretations of research
- Articles lacking reliable scientific backing
If a claim cannot be confirmed, it is either removed or clearly labeled as unverified.
5. Corrections, Clarifications & Updates
Science evolves rapidly, and so do facts. If inaccuracies or outdated information are identified, we act promptly:
Corrections
If an error is discovered, we correct it immediately and, when necessary, add a correction note explaining the change.
Clarifications
If content is accurate but may be misinterpreted, we update the article to provide better clarity.
Updates
When new research or updated guidelines become available, we revise the article to reflect the latest information.
All corrections follow the same editorial standards outlined in our
Editorial Policy.
6. How Readers Can Report Errors
We encourage readers, researchers, and experts to point out potential errors or inaccuracies.

7. Transparency in Reporting
Whenever corrections or updates significantly change the meaning of an article, we ensure transparency by:
- Acknowledging the update
- Explaining the nature of the correction
- Citing the new information added
This helps maintain trust and accountability with our readers.
8. No Influence from Advertisers or Sponsors
Fact-checking and editorial decisions are never influenced by advertisers, sponsors, or external organizations.
