MedRise Contributor Terms
Version 2026-11-14 · Last updated November 14, 2026
These terms apply when you submit an article to MedRise Articles, published at med-rise.com by ViaAI LLC ("MedRise", "we"). By submitting, you agree to them. If anything here is unclear, ask us at [email protected] before you submit.
1. Who can submit
You must be 18 or older. You must be the author of the article. If anyone else helped write it, list them as co-authors and confirm they agree to these terms.
2. Contributions are unpaid
Contributions are voluntary and unpaid. You will not receive payment, royalties or any other compensation, and submitting or publishing an article does not create employment, an internship, a contractor relationship or any promise of future work. MedRise is a for-profit business: pages on our site may carry advertising and links to MedRise services, and MedRise may earn money from them. Please submit only if you are comfortable with that.
3. Review and no obligation to publish
We review every submission, usually within one day, using AI tools to help check privacy, accuracy, sources and originality and to edit. MedRise is responsible for what it publishes. We decide what to publish and may decline any article or ask you for changes. We do not assign topics, deadlines or quotas. Sending an article does not oblige you to write another one.
4. Your rights, editing and the license you give us
You keep the copyright in your article. When you submit, you give ViaAI LLC a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, non-exclusive license to publish, reproduce, display and distribute your article in any format, to edit it for clarity, length, accuracy and style, to make excerpts, summaries and social posts from it, and to use your name, photo and bio with it.
We may edit for clarity, grammar, length, structure, formatting, headings and links without asking first, and we email you the edited version when your article is published. We never publish an edit that changes your meaning without your approval: if a change like that is needed, we ask you before publishing. You can ask for corrections at any time.
Your article must be original and unpublished, including on LinkedIn, social media or your own blog. Please wait 30 days after it appears on MedRise before republishing it elsewhere, and then include "Originally published on MedRise" with a link to our page.
You can ask us to remove your byline or take down your article at any time. We consider every request in good faith and promptly remove anything that is inaccurate or that creates a privacy or safety concern.
5. What you promise
- The article is your own original work and does not copy anyone else's words, images or ideas without credit.
- Medical facts are accurate to the best of your knowledge and are supported by the sources you cite.
- You have told us about any AI help. We accept AI for spelling, grammar or brainstorming only; the ideas, structure and words must be yours.
- The article contains no patient information that could identify anyone. You have removed names, dates, places, photos, record numbers and every other identifier, and any detail that could let someone recognize a patient, classmate or colleague. If you combined or changed cases, the article says so.
- The article does not name or describe a person, school, hospital or company in a false or negative way, and it does not share confidential information.
- Publishing it does not break your school's, program's or employer's policies, including social media and professionalism policies.
- You have told us about any financial interest or relationship (for example, a company that pays you) connected to the topic.
If an article breaks these promises, we may edit it, add a correction or remove it.
6. Not medical advice, not peer review
Articles are the author's own views and are for education only. They are not medical advice. MedRise Articles are editorially reviewed; they are not peer-reviewed. Please list your article as an online article, not a peer-reviewed publication.
7. Your information
We use the details you send only to review your article, contact you and publish your byline and bio. See our privacy policy.
8. Changes
We may update these terms. The version you agreed to is recorded with your submission and applies to that article.
