Evidence standard
Health claims and outbreak figures should be supported by named, accessible sources. Primary public-health guidance and peer-reviewed research take precedence over summaries. Headlines must not exaggerate the evidence or present projections as observed facts.
Authorship and review
Articles are published by the EbolaMap Editorial Team. Editorial verification means checking claims against the sources listed with an article; it does not mean clinical peer review. EbolaMap currently makes no claim that its content is reviewed by a licensed medical professional.
Medical safety
- Content is educational and cannot diagnose an infection or assess an individual exposure.
- Urgent symptoms and suspected exposure are directed to local public-health or emergency services.
- Treatment and vaccine claims specify the ebolavirus species when that distinction affects approval or effectiveness.
- Uncertainty, preliminary totals, and active-outbreak cutoffs are labelled.
Independence and advertising
Editorial decisions are separate from advertising. Payment cannot buy a favourable claim, alter outbreak data, or remove a correction. Ads, if enabled, are labelled and placed so they are not confused with navigation, maps, or article text.
Updates
Material revisions receive an updated date in page metadata. Dated situation reports remain historical records when appropriate and link visitors to the current overview.
