Sources & Methodology

MOMD is designed as an independent educational reference. This page explains how information is researched, written, referenced, reviewed, and maintained.

Our process

How MOMD content is developed

The publishing workflow separates research, editorial content, citations, review records, publication state, and version history.

01
Define the topic
Each reference entry is structured around a defined disorder, symptom, treatment, category, or classification topic.
02
Research authoritative sources
Content is developed from traceable reference material such as recognized health organizations, classification resources, and relevant evidence-based publications.
03
Write original educational content
MOMD creates its own explanatory summaries instead of reproducing protected diagnostic manuals or copying source material verbatim.
04
Attach citations and references
Supporting sources are maintained separately from editorial content so references can remain attributable, reviewable, and reusable.
05
Editorial review before publication
Content moves through a controlled editorial workflow before publication. Medical review is a separate governance activity that is recorded explicitly when it takes place, and is never inferred from editorial approval or ordinary content-update timestamps.
06
Version and maintain
Changes to governed content can be tracked through the MOMD content-versioning and audit architecture.

Source selection

Traceable references

MOMD is structured to maintain bibliographic and institutional source information alongside the educational content that relies on it.

Individual content sections can therefore be connected to specific citations rather than treating an entire article as having one undifferentiated source list.

Classification references

Classification is kept separate from editorial explanation

External classification-system metadata is stored independently from MOMD's own educational summaries.
