FactMed operates with full editorial independence.
No funder, partner, or supporting entity has any influence over topic selection, analytical methodology, or epistemic conclusions.
The project is designed as a public-interest analytical platform, prioritizing long-term trust built on transparency and methodological rigor.
Funding and Sustainability
FactMed follows a sustainability model that maintains independence by:
- Publishing open-access analytical content for the public
- Offering paid analytical services to institutions and research-oriented organizations upon request
These services are intended solely to ensure financial sustainability and do not grant any entity influence over:
- editorial priorities
- topic selection
- analytical framing or epistemic classifications
Separation Between Content and Services
FactMed maintains a strict separation between:
- public-facing analytical content, and
- institutional analytical services provided under independent agreements
This separation is a core methodological safeguard designed to prevent actual or perceived conflicts of interest.
Transparency
FactMed commits to disclosing:
- relevant institutional partnerships or funding sources
- the nature of paid analytical engagements when applicable
Transparency is treated not as a formality, but as a foundational element of credibility.
