Standards

Editorial Standards

Foundational standards for context-first, evidence-informed educational publishing.

Read Source Methodology

Evidence-informed process

DogMind Journal favors cautious language, clear uncertainty, and source-aware explanations. A single signal is not treated as proof of a fixed internal state.

Source attribution

Published content should identify sources clearly and distinguish primary research, professional guidance, welfare organizations, and editorial interpretation.

Corrections and review dates

Corrections should be visible, dated, and proportionate to the issue. Review dates should indicate when a piece was last checked for editorial accuracy and scope.

Conflicts and AI-assisted workflow

Relevant conflicts of interest should be disclosed. AI-assisted drafting or editing may support workflow, but final editorial judgment and factual responsibility remain human.

Education, not diagnosis

DogMind Journal separates educational explanation from veterinary diagnosis, behavior diagnosis, professional training, emergency advice, and individualized case assessment.
