3. Strict Sourcing & Formatting Guidelines
All accepted articles must demonstrate scientific literacy and structural clarity.
3.1 Sourcing and Citation Requirements
- No Unsupported Claims: Every clinical, medical, dermatological, or financial statement must be linked directly to an authoritative primary source.
- Primary Source Dominance: At least 70% of your citations must direct to peer-reviewed scientific literature (PubMed-indexed journals) or recognized public health and regulatory databases (e.g., ADA, ISAPS, WHO, BLS).
- Formatting In-Text Links: Embed your hyperlinks directly inside descriptive text rather than using footnotes or generic anchor text (e.g., use "a 2024 study in the Journal of Aesthetic Dentistry demonstrated…" instead of "[source 1]" or "[click here]").
- Commercial Linking Restrictions: We do not allow links to commercial products, specific clinics, or sales pages in the body copy. Any external links to clinic websites must serve purely as a primary source for dataset audits or official accreditation references.
3.2 Tone and Style Guide
- Approachable Clinical Tone: Write in a voice that is authoritative, scientifically accurate, and precise, yet accessible to a highly intelligent layperson. Avoid medical jargon walls; explain terms clearly.
- Zero Hype and Superlatives: We strictly ban the use of marketing superlatives (e.g., “miraculous,” “flawless,” “revolutionary,” “perfectly”). Focus on standard deviations, statistical ranges, and balanced clinical outcomes.
- Balanced Risk Disclosures: Every guide describing a procedure or active ingredient must contain a dedicated, objective section outlining risks, potential side effects, contraindications, and realistic expectations.
4. Artificial Intelligence & Plagiarism Policies
Jenny Wong Beauty Group maintains a zero-tolerance policy for plagiarized, spun, or automated content:
- No Raw AI Content: We do not accept guest submissions that are generated, outlined, or drafted by generative AI systems (such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini) without substantial, deep human research and rewriting.
- Original Data & Perspectives: Your article must offer a unique, original perspective, personal professional experience, or synthesized dataset. Programmatic spinning of pre-existing internet articles will be instantly rejected.
- Manual Verification: All submissions undergo structural scanning, manual copywriting review, and strict citation verification prior to editorial approval.
