Editorial Policy

This policy explains who is responsible for what Dental Clinics Cyprus publishes, how articles are researched, reviewed and corrected, and how we keep editorial content separate from commercial relationships. Dental Clinics Cyprus is operated by Onlyseo; see Ownership and conflicts of interest.

Who is responsible

Every article has a named author, or is published under “Editorial team, Dental Clinics Cyprus” when it is a team piece. A named human editor checks every article before publication and is responsible for it. Onlyseo, as operator, carries overall responsibility for the content of the site.

Our named editors and contributors will be listed here as they join. Until then, articles are published under “Editorial team, Dental Clinics Cyprus”, and Onlyseo, which operates this site, is responsible for them.

What we publish

News, guides, research, interviews and costs & insurance about dental clinics in Cyprus. We do not publish “top” or “best” lists of businesses unless the list follows a published, objective method, and we link to that method from the article.

Expert review for health and dental topics

Articles on health and dental topics can affect people’s money, legal position or health, so before publication each one is reviewed by a dentist registered to practise in Cyprus, with specialist registration where the topic requires it. The reviewer’s name, credentials and the review date are shown at the top of the article. Our rules for reviewers:

• A reviewer is never an employee of Onlyseo.
• Reviewers should come from outside Onlyseo’s client firms. If a reviewer’s firm is listed on this site or is a client of Onlyseo, the article says so next to the reviewer’s name.
• Nobody reviews an article about their direct competitors, or about fees charged by their competitors.
• Reviewers are named on the page and in structured data only with their written consent.
• Reviewers check accuracy. They do not approve coverage of their own firm, and they are not paid by any business mentioned in the article.

Sources and citations

We rely on primary sources first: for this site that means the Ministry of Health, the Health Insurance Organisation, professional bodies and peer-reviewed research. Figures such as rates, thresholds and deadlines are linked to the source that sets them, and each article ends with a “Sources” list giving the title, link and publisher of everything we relied on. Where rules have an effective date, the article says which date it describes. We do not invent statistics, and we do not publish figures we cannot source.

Use of AI tools

AI tools may assist with research, outlines and first drafts. AI output is treated as a draft: it is never published automatically. Before publication a named human editor checks every fact against the sources, rewrites as needed and is responsible for every published word, as the EU AI Act (Article 50) expects for text published to inform the public. We log which articles had AI assistance and which editor approved them. We do not use AI-generated images to depict real people, businesses or events.

Corrections

If we get something wrong, we fix it quickly and say so. Substantive corrections are noted at the end of the article with the date of the correction, and the article’s “Updated” date changes. Small fixes such as typos are corrected without a note.

Use the “Report this article” link at the end of any article, or the report form. Tell us what is wrong and, if you can, where the correct information is published.

Sponsored and partner content

• Editorial articles are not sold, and businesses do not see or approve coverage before publication.
• If we publish sponsored content, it is labelled “Sponsored” at the top, and links to the sponsor are marked rel="sponsored".
• Articles that mention a client of Onlyseo (labelled “Partner”) or a paying business (labelled “Sponsored”) carry a disclosure at the top of the article.
• Featured, Partner and Sponsored listings share a small, capped set of featured slots; they do not change the order of the directory. See How listings are ranked.

Updates and review cadence

Every article shows when it was published and, separately, when it was last updated. Articles on health and dental topics also show a “Last reviewed” date. They are reviewed at least once every 12 months and whenever the underlying rules change, for example after the annual budget or a change in the law. If we cannot re-review an article in time, we mark it as out of date or take it down.

Listings and reviews

Listings are free. Ratings and reviews shown on listings come from the platforms credited next to them; we do not write, edit or select them, and we do not mark them up as our own reviews.
