Introduction[edit | edit source]
Physiopedia aims to be a clinical reference for student and qualified physiotherapists. The Physiopedia quality standards have been developed on this basis and focus on providing confidence that content meets that quality standards expected of a professional resource.
These quality standards are best practices for content creation, layout and formatting of Physiopedia pages. Editors should attempt to follow these guidelines, though they are best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply.
Content Guidelines[edit | edit source]
Content on Physiopedia pages should comply with these guidelines:
- Articles are evidence based summaries of a topic and should be written in a clear and concise manner. Large topics should be split into several linked shorter pages.
- Relevance to physiotherapy practice should always be included so that learning can easily be applied to clinical situations.
- All content should be written in the English language.
- All content should be up to date, evidence based and referenced where appropriate (see Referencing Guide).
- Internationally agreed professional scope of practice should be respected at all time.
- Copyright policy (Terms and Conditions Section 9) should be followed at all times. Plagiarism is not tolerated.
- Always respect the Physiopedia Community Culture.
