Editorial practice
How we work
Sources remain visible
Factual claims should be attributable, contextualized, and open to scrutiny.
Uncertainty is stated
Limitations, affiliations, and conflicts belong inside the published record.
People are treated with care
Patients, researchers, and communities are participants in a story, never scenery.
Contribute
There is room at the desk.
CUMR considers writers, editors, researchers, and visual contributors whose work strengthens the publication’s coverage and meets its editorial standard.
