Our Mission
Fonto Media was founded in 2019 with the primary goal of improving the scientific quality and accessibility of information on health, rehabilitation, and communication.
Noble Intent!
However, it must be put into practice, and the best way to achieve it must be considered!
Our rigorous information review and verification process
Here is the process we follow for the writing and updating of each article.
The idea is to:
- Start from the experience of one or more individuals.
- Compare it with the writer’s knowledge and expertise in their field.
- The writer then compares their knowledge and experiences with a broader sample than just themselves. This involves conducting in-depth documentary research in international academic literature as well as more mainstream sources. This is done in order to better understand and explain the questions of internet users.
In practical terms, this results in the following 6 points:
References, sources, and citations
The academic sources we rely on (medical studies, statistics, official websites) are indicated in the body of the text with the name of the first author or institution, followed by the publication date: (Name, date).
At the end of the article, we provide more information about these publications and include an external link to each source so that you can verify each piece of information if you wish.
Information updates
Articles are updated at least once a year, and often much more frequently, depending on the evolution of knowledge, our experience, and feedback from our readers.
Disclosure of financial interests and conflicts of interest
At the beginning of each article, financial conflicts of interest are disclosed. The legal notice page also summarizes the financial interests of the two main editors and is updated monthly.
We engage in affiliate marketing on some links (always indicated at the beginning of the article). This means that we may earn a small commission if you use our link to purchase a product or service, without it costing you more. This commission ranges from 1% to 10%.
