Evidence based editorial process

GIDEON monitors and collects data from 20,000+ different sources, including National Health Ministry reports, peer-reviewed journals, and periodicals, texts, monographs, international convention abstracts, WHO, CDC, ProMED, and Euro-Surveillance publications; and a daily search of all relevant publications through PubMed.

All sources used by GIDEON are peer-reviewed and backed by scientific evidence, except for those reporting emerging outbreaks, in which case grey literature is relied upon during the early days of the event.

Selected publications are critically reviewed by a cross-disciplinary team of highly regarded medical scientists which includes practicing physicians, microbiologists, and epidemiologists. This is a multi-step process, where all content is reviewed for validity and relevance.
