Our team

My Animals has a team of professionals from the biological and veterinary field to offer reliable, truthful, up-to-date and quality information. In addition, this team respects the value of empathy, which is why the content is prepared in a simple, understandable and friendly language.

The writers and editors of our portal verify the information they offer the reader through scientific sources and their professional experience. For the preparation of an article, they respect a previous research process that is part of the responsibility they assume when giving suggestions, advice and recommendations.

We prioritize information from scientific studies and entities with renowned prestige in the care and research of fauna, whether governmental or NGO. When a professional promotes a council based on her particular experience, we make it clear that this is the case.

Our editorial process

My Animals selects content according to what readers interested in the world of wildlife consider most relevant. There are also current news and analysis of emerging situations in the field of animal biology.

Part of the editorial team is responsible for proposing relevant but also original topics, avoiding repetition. Each of these topics is analyzed and receives approval (or not) before moving onto the editorial process.

The professional team then writes the content for the approved topics. Guided by our values and our voice, they elaborate a text that’s empathetic, approachable, informative, reliable, and supported by scientific data. Another part of the editorial team reviews and edits this content before it’s published.

You should know that in My Animals we don’t allow plagiarism. We strive to share original content through a thorough review.

After some time, the contents of our portal are checked again, once already published. This is done in order to keep the data updated, especially in a field as susceptible to new discoveries as animal biology. Periodically, part of the editorial team reviews the publications to incorporate scientific knowledge, make modifications based on readers’ suggestions, and improve the texts.

This content audit is constant. We know that advances in biology, species preservation, and veterinary knowledge are frequent and happen quickly.

Our verification labels

In the publications on My Animals you’ll find the 2 following labels that indicate the degree of verification of the information:

Fact checked: If our article has this label, it means that the content is based on reliable scientific and academic sources. In the final bibliography section, you’ll be able to corroborate these sources.
Evidence based: This tag designates a higher verification value than the previous one. It means that most of the sources in the bibliography are scientific studies that have their own validation process by specialized journals in animal biology.
