Editorial Policy

Last updated November 13, 2026

Our standards

  1. Data first. Every number on FertilityList comes from a cited, dated source. If we cannot verify a figure, we leave it out.
  2. Primary sources. We cite government agencies (such as the CDC), professional bodies (such as ASRM and ESHRE), national registries and peer-reviewed research. We do not cite clinic marketing as evidence.
  3. No medical advice. We explain data and options. We do not tell readers what treatment to choose.
  4. Describe data, not judgments. We report what clinics reported. We avoid labels like "best" or "worst" unless they refer to a specific, published measure.
  5. Honesty about authorship. FertilityList content is produced with AI assistance and published under the byline "FertilityList Editorial". We do not invent authors, medical reviewers, credentials, testimonials or reviews.

How content is produced and checked

Data pages are generated automatically from source datasets, so the numbers shown are exactly those in the source. Guides are drafted with AI assistance and must pass automated checks before publication:

  • every statistic must have a matching citation;
  • wording that reads as personal medical advice is blocked;
  • near-duplicate pages are blocked;
  • all links must resolve, and structured data must validate;
  • the medical disclaimer must be present.

We publish at a steady, moderate pace and update pages when source data changes. Each guide shows its "Last updated" date and a list of sources.

Independence

No clinic can pay to be listed, to change its score, or to change its position in any ranking. If we ever introduce paid features (for example, an enquiry form or a sponsored placement), they will be clearly labeled and kept separate from scores and data.

Corrections

We correct errors promptly and note significant corrections. See the corrections page.
