MenApplause
How we choose what you read
Our approach to reputable sources, automated quality checks, reuse rights and editorial independence.
Expertise before volume
Our aim is useful, credible reading, not a large library of generated health articles. We identify the source, its expertise and the kind of material you are reading. Research, personal perspective and health guidance should not be confused.
Three honest formats
Curated links use a short original introduction and take you to the publisher. Licensed articles require recorded article-specific rights, author credit, original links, notices and any required canonical URL. Original guides must be clearly credited and checked against reliable sources.
Automatic audience and quality checks
Every article must be for humans, relate to health or wellbeing and be no more targeted to women than to men. Men-specific material is preferred; equally applicable guidance is welcome. Our health scope includes physical, mental, sexual and social wellbeing. A mention of women does not by itself disqualify an article.
Automated checks separately assess the approved source, reuse permission and attribution, freshness, duplicate content and clear misleading or dangerous health claims. Licensed NHS text is compared with the complete current source extraction. Each decision records its reasons, model, policy version and content fingerprint. Changed content is checked again. Failed or incomplete checks stop publication without requiring human sign-off.
A lightweight language model assists with classification and screening. It does not diagnose readers, give personalised medical advice or certify medical accuracy. We do not claim that a clinician has reviewed MenApplause. The original publisher remains clearly credited.
Categories, tags and useful tools
Articles receive consistent categories and tags after passing the checks. These help readers browse and find relevant NHS tools. Tools are associated with the main subject of the article, not a reader’s personal health history.
Separate rights for words and images
An RSS feed, public webpage or affiliate agreement is not permission to republish an article. Images have their own rights. Illustrative photography and AI-created imagery are recorded separately and never presented as a real contributor or case study.
Freshness and corrections
Each item has a source-check date and a next-review date. The publication gate holds overdue source checks and expired rights. Source updates must be refreshed and checked again before publication. Send corrections to ross@itomic.com.au. Please do not send private health information; this inbox is not a support service.
Independent by design
The preview has no advertising, affiliate tracking or sponsored placements. Any future paid relationship must be clearly disclosed, with support routes remaining free of commercial barriers.
