Contributor Guidelines
PalliativeCare360 is read by people who make decisions with real consequences. Contributions are held to the standard that audience requires.
Standards
Submissions must be written by you, unpublished elsewhere, and not under review at another outlet. Disclose any prior version, adaptation, or AI-assisted drafting. Reprints are considered only by prior agreement with the editors.
Every factual or performance claim must be supported by data, peer-reviewed literature, regulation, or documented operating experience. Distinguish clearly between evidence, informed interpretation, and opinion. Describe methods and limitations when reporting results.
Cite sources inline with a linked reference where one exists — journal article, DOI, statute, rule, dataset, or public filing. Attribute quotations to a named person and context. Charts and tables must name their underlying source and time period.
Invented citations, misattributed quotations, altered figures, and sources that do not resolve are grounds for immediate rejection. Every reference is checked before publication; a single unverifiable source ends consideration of the piece.
We do not publish vendor pitches, product announcements, or organizational marketing. You may reference your own program as a case example when the evidence stands on its own and the framing is instructive rather than persuasive.
Declare employment, ownership, board seats, consulting relationships, grants, and any financial interest relevant to the subject. Disclosures are published with the piece. Commercial partnership never buys editorial placement.
Process
Step 1
Send a short outline: the argument, the evidence behind it, why it matters to executives now, and your relationship to the subject.
Step 2
Editors assess fit, originality, and the strength of the evidence. Selected pitches receive a scope, length, and deadline.
Step 3
Drafts are edited for structure and clarity, then fact-checked line by line against the sources you provide.
Step 4
You approve material changes before publication. Corrections are issued transparently and dated.
