Editorial responsibility at Clinical Forage

What the publication does

Clinical Forage explains the documents and tasks involved in clinical research participation. Its guides draw on FDA, NIH, HHS Office for Human Research Protections, ClinicalTrials.gov, and published research. Readers can use the guides to check a study record, prepare for consent, estimate time and costs, and follow up on payments or results.

How the current guides were produced

AI tools assisted with drafting, revision, source comparison, and website development. Kerr Media LLC retains responsibility for publication and corrections. The articles do not represent firsthand experience as a participant, investigator, coordinator, or clinician.

References have been checked to support the general explanations. These checks are not independent clinical review. No licensed medical professional has reviewed the current guides for publication. See the health-content review policy before using them for a medical question.

Method

1. Identify the reader’s decision and the fact needed to make it.
2. Start with the agency, registry, regulation, consent document, or institution responsible for the fact.
3. Write the narrowest supportable statement.
4. Separate general education from protocol-specific and personal medical questions.
5. Link the source at the claim and list it at the end of the guide.
6. Correct material errors with a dated note.

Funding and editorial control

Kerr Media LLC funds Clinical Forage. No ads are currently serving. The publication plans to use advertising to help cover its costs; its advertising policy separates ads from study information, sources, and tool controls.
