BONEZone's business is supported by revenue generated from selling advertisements. Content is under the discretionary control of the Editor, and BONEZone accepts no remuneration for consideration, inclusion or placement of editorial content. The Editor will ensure that BONEZone readers can readily distinguish editorial material (through design, words, and placement) from paid promotional information (advertisements).

The Editor assists authors in the development and preparation of material to ensure that content is educational as opposed to promotional. As the Editor can verify neither the accuracy nor objectivity of content, authors are relied upon to provide information that supports editorial excellence by delivering content that is accurate, unbiased, and ethical.

Unbiased is a difficult concept to convey, and a difficult result to achieve. Most contributors have never authored material such as that being presented in BONEZone. Supplier insights are often related to proprietary processes, techniques or technologies. The art is to learn how to present information that provides value to customers (but not to competitors) while displaying total objectivity. The Editor accepts this challenge as part of BONEZone's commitment to serving as a trusted resource. If you have feedback on any of our articles, please let us know.
