Editorial and publication principles
IAHPM publications identify what they are, who issued them, the material they use and the limits that affect interpretation.
Publication types
| Type | What it provides |
|---|---|
| Practice resource | A repeatable task, worksheet or worked example |
| Technical briefing | An explanation of a defined technical question and its sources |
| Industry analysis | A question, source selection, observations and limitations |
| Policy position | An approved IAHPM view on a stated issue |
| External source | Material issued by another organisation and attributed to it |
Sources, evidence and interpretation
A publication links to identifiable sources suitable for the statements they support. Factual reporting, illustrative examples, analysis and recommendations are distinguished. A limitation belongs beside the finding it changes, not in a generic disclaimer at the end.
Using publications
Check the type, issuer, date, version, intended reader and product or market scope. A technical tool does not establish a legal requirement, and an external link does not imply partnership or endorsement. Cite the title, issuer, date and version.
Versions and maintenance
A resource shows its publication date and version. A substantive revision receives a new version and a concise change note; a correction records what changed. Official market sources are rechecked when a guide is revised and before a reader relies on them for a current decision.
Corrections
Identify the resource URL, passage, proposed correction and supporting public source. The acknowledgement creates a private follow-up record. IAHPM reviews the evidence and records the outcome; submission does not guarantee a change.
