Body was changed:

Our style guide is a set of guidelines to help authors write content in a uniform way. This has become increasingly important as the number of contributors has grown. Take a look through the guide and get involved at Radiopaedia.org.

Style

In an attempt to unify the look and feel of Radiopaedia.org, we have a style guide. This helps the articles and cases written by a number of authors haveto maintain consistency. Take a look at these pages to get started.

Articles and cases

Articles and cases are the two main components of content at Radiopaedia.org and work together to become more than the sum of their parts as they are linked together.

Articles

Articles are the essence of Radiopaedia.org. This is where we link together our collective knowledge to form a meaningful collaboration.

Editing an article is simple, and is quickly explained in the following short video.

You can also have a bit of a play in our sandbox (test page)

Even better is to review our how to edit articles learning pathway

We have a zero tolerance policy towards plagiarism (copying other people's work) and take a hard line on it, for more detail about this please see:

Cases

Good cases are vital for Radiopaedia.org. All articles need good images from great cases. But, cases are so much more than just a simple image to demonstrate a single point. 

Creating a case is simple, and is quickly explained in the following short video.
