Editorial Process

Scope and purpose

Publications are developed as professional educational and reference resources in wilderness medicine, emergency care, operational medicine, and related technical fields.

Source handling

Authors are responsible for accurate attribution, appropriate citation of source material, and distinguishing evidence, consensus guidance, operational practice, and author commentary.

Editorial review

Manuscripts are reviewed for organization, clarity, internal consistency, source attribution, terminology, and clinical currency. Any formal external peer review is identified on the relevant publication record.

Medical currency

Clinical recommendations are assessed against available literature, professional guidance, product information, and applicable standards at the time of publication. Readers should verify time-sensitive guidance against current sources and local protocols.
