A Pharmastan article is an introductory piece on a specific health or medical topic. To write a successful Pharmastan article, the following points should be considered:
Focus on Key Info rmation:Concentrate on the most important aspects that the reader wants to know about the topic.
Expand Target Audience: Remember that Pharmastan articles are freely accessible online, so the writing should target the largest possible audience. For example, it’s better to avoid jargon or highly specialized language, and ensure that specialized terms are explained in clear and direct language.
Maintain Appropriate Length: While there is no ideal length for a Pharmastan article, as a general rule, a good article should be longer than a typical web page. Since Pharmastan articles target readers who want more in-depth details on a particular topic, they should be more comprehensive than most online content. However, it is also important to be concise in writing, as readers prefer to get directly to the relevant information, regardless of what they are looking for. The recommended word count for an article ranges between 500 and 900 words, depending on the topic and the availability of references.
Adhere to Article Style: Pharmastan articles are not blogs, so it is preferable to avoid the informal conversational style common in blogs. A more formal style should be used, as the purpose of a Pharmastan article is to be a reliable source on a specific topic.
Focus on Facts: A Pharmastan article should be a factual statement rather than just a conversational piece. It is better to present facts and support the writer’s viewpoint with arguments and evidence.
Use Internal Links: Include internal links to terms and articles already available on the Pharmastan platform (at least one internal link per 150 words, meaning a standard article should contain no fewer than 10 internal links).
Apply Good Formatting: Use a single font type and size to allow users to browse the content quickly and comfortably. Important words or phrases should be written in bold to make it easier for readers to find what they are looking for.
Use Correct Arabic: Use grammatically and orthographically correct Arabic. Pharmastan is a trusted source for medical information, and there will be no tolerance for submitting or displaying an article with spelling or grammatical errors.
Use Lists and Bullets: Enumerate items using lists and bullets and maintain uniform formatting to facilitate reading and referencing information. A well-organized article is easier to read and attracts more readers.
Choose a Relevant Title: Choose a title that closely relates to the article’s topic. Most search engines place great importance on the title and subtitle of a Pharmastan article, so a clear and expressive title will attract more readers.
Avoid Spam and Malware: Ensure that no Pharmastan article includes spam or malware.
Respect Copyright Laws: Ensure compliance with all applicable copyright and other laws.
Include Factual Content: Ensure that the article includes factual content to build a good reputation as an author and encourage readers to refer back to the articles for more information.
Avoid Hateful Content: Users are prohibited from posting materials that incite hatred against specific groups based on sexual, ethnic, or religious origin, disability, gender, age, important status, or sexual orientation.
Avoid Violent Content: Users are prohibited from posting direct threats of violence toward any person or group of people. Users are also requested not to post content containing violent imagery.
Respect Copyright: Our policy is to respond to explicit notifications claiming copyright infringement.
Avoid Posting Private and Confidential Information: Unauthorized posting of private and confidential information, such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, driver’s license numbers, and other personal information not generally accessible, is not allowed.
Avoid Impersonation: Impersonation of others through our services with the intent to mislead or confuse others is prohibited.
Avoid Illegal Use of Services: Our products and services may not be used for illegal purposes or to promote dangerous or illegal activities. Doing so may result in account termination and reporting to the relevant authorities.
The article policy is designed to help ensure that users have the best experience while complying with applicable laws.
Please note that the Pharmastan platform and its staff strive to ensure that medical articles are ranked first in terms of content quality and writing.
Healthcare providers and doctors who wish to write on the Pharmastan platform are requested to send their requests to the Pharmastan Doctors Team at doctors@pharmastan.net.
