Editorial standards

How RabbitTrust prepares public learning content.

These standards apply to RabbitTrust-authored guides and educational resources. Member posts, listings and discussions remain user-generated content and are identified by their own context.

01

Original, useful work

Every guide should add practical value for rabbit keepers rather than copy, lightly rewrite or aggregate another publisher’s work. External material may inform a guide, but the final explanation must be RabbitTrust’s own.

02

Evidence and uncertainty

Health, nutrition, genetics and welfare claims should reflect reliable references and clearly state important limitations. Where evidence is uncertain or circumstances vary, the article should say so.

03

Veterinary boundary

Educational content cannot diagnose an individual rabbit or replace examination and treatment by a qualified veterinarian. Urgent or worsening symptoms require professional care.

04

Corrections and updates

Material errors should be corrected promptly. Substantial revisions should update the page’s modification date so readers and search engines can distinguish current guidance.

05

Commercial transparency

Educational recommendations should not be disguised advertising. Marketplace listings, membership offers and user promotions must remain distinguishable from RabbitTrust-authored guidance.

06

Responsible publishing tools

Drafting and editing tools may assist the publishing process, but public guidance must be reviewed for clarity, originality, safety boundaries and usefulness before publication.
