Editorial Standards
Shaaju is a publication first. Every piece of guidance we publish goes through a deliberate process before it reaches a reader, and every claim we make about a health or safety topic is checked against recognized sources.
How an article gets published
Articles move through a defined workflow before publication:
Draft — written by an author, based on our sourcing hierarchy below.
In review — checked by an editor or reviewer for accuracy, tone and completeness.
Changes requested — sent back with specific notes when something needs work.
Approved — signed off and ready to schedule.
Scheduled or published — goes live, either immediately or on a chosen date.
Every edit to a published article is recorded in a version history, so nothing changes silently. See our content-review policy and corrections policy for more detail.
Sourcing
Health and safety claims are prioritized from current, authoritative sources, including:
The American Academy of Pediatrics / HealthyChildren.org

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG)
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and peer-reviewed journals

We do not treat personal blogs, affiliate pages or social media posts as scientific evidence.
What we will not do
Invent quotes, statistics, credentials or personal stories
Present sponsored or affiliate content as independent editorial opinion
Use fear-based or sensational framing to drive clicks
Guarantee outcomes that depend on individual medical circumstances
