Editorial Policies

Editorial Independence

Every week, our physician-editors select and interpret the latest research and guidelines based on one simple question: What will help clinicians take better care of patients today? No outside organization has any influence over what we cover or how we present it. 

Conflicts of Interest (COI)

Trust is essential in clinical publishing. That’s why every NEJM Clinician contributor must disclose any potential conflicts of interest. All disclosures are openly posted on our website. 

Curation

NEJM Clinician is built for busy clinicians. We combine fast, rigorous surveillance with expert insight to highlight what truly matters: 

1. Literature Surveillance: Our physician-editors monitor hundreds of sources for meaningful updates to clinical care. 

1. Expert Commentary: Each summary includes clear, practical interpretation and perspective from a practicing physician. 

1. Editorial Oversight: We hold ourselves to the highest standards for clarity, accuracy, and usefulness. 

1. Timely Updates: When new evidence changes the clinical landscape, we quickly revise our coverage to reflect it. 

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Processes

NEJM Clinician embraces technology to enhance its editorial workflow, including AI. But human oversight is our cornerstone. All content is curated and reviewed by experienced medical professionals.
