Clinician Contributor Guidelines

We are starting to accept applications from clinicians who want to write educational articles for AllergyNest. Contributor articles are not live yet. This page explains who can apply, how we check credentials, what we publish, how editing works and how to apply.

Who can apply

Licensed US clinicians whose work involves allergy or asthma. That means you hold a current license to practice in at least one US state. You write under your own name and credentials, so we need to be able to verify both.

How we verify you

Before we publish anything, we check your credentials against public records:

• your National Provider Identifier (NPI) in the NPI Registry, and
• your license, in the license lookup of the state that issued it.

If we can’t verify your credentials, we won’t publish your article.

We show board certification only with the full name of the certifying board. We re-check your credentials at least once a year while your articles are on the site, and we may remove an article if a later check fails.

What we publish

Contributor articles are educational. They give general information, not advice to individual readers. Each one should:

• appear under your own name and credentials;
• use plain language that someone without medical training can follow;
• cite its sources, as all our pages do (see our editorial policy);
• contain no information that could identify a patient;
• include no testimonials;
• make no claims that you or your practice are better than others;
• include no calls to book with you or your practice. A neutral line suggesting that readers see an allergist is fine.

Please also follow your own state’s rules on advertising by health professionals.

Disclosures

At the top of each article, we show:

• your practice;
• any compensation you receive from us, including a free or enhanced profile in our planned allergist directory;
• any conflicts of interest, including relationships with makers of drugs or medical devices;
• if you or your practice is a client of Aragil, the marketing agency our editor runs, that relationship.

Tell us about all of these when you apply, and tell us if anything changes while your article is on the site.

How editing works

• We edit for clarity and style, and we may add citations.
• You approve any edit that changes your meaning before we publish it.
• We may decline an article, or remove one after it is published.
• Corrections follow our corrections policy.

What your article means

Your article is authored by you. It does not mean you reviewed or endorse any other page on AllergyNest, and we will never say or suggest that it does. Today, no page on AllergyNest has been reviewed by a clinician.

Publishing your article is also not an endorsement of you or your practice by AllergyNest. We don’t recommend or endorse any specific clinician.

If you use AI

If you use AI tools to help draft an article, tell us when you send it, including which tools you used and for what. You must check every claim yourself, against its source, before you submit it. Our own use of AI is described in How We Use AI.

Rights

You keep the copyright in your article and grant us a license to publish it. The details will be set out in a written contributor agreement.

How to apply

Email hello@allergynest.com with the subject line “Contributor application”, and include:

• your full name;
• your credentials;
• your NPI number;
• the state or states where you are licensed;
• your practice;
• a few topics you would like to write about.

Please don’t send any patient information.
