Editorial approach

A resource library that can earn trust over time.

Prefer the current official publisher or standards body.
Identify the audience and why the resource is useful.
Record a review date and periodically re-check the link.
Separate ISMWE-authored guidance from third-party material.
Correct or remove links that are outdated or misleading.

Professional-use notice: Resources and ISMWE commentary support professional development. They do not replace clinical, legal, regulatory, statistical, or institutional advice.
