Pacific Shores Research Group’s core focus is to provide helpful, high-effort content that addresses education gaps that exist in the industries we focus on. We are committed to producing various content types that are accurate, clear, useful, and designed in a manner that is consumable by the audiences that visit our sites.
Our content creation process is governed by clean and unbiased editorial oversight that mirrors traditional newspaper standards. The goal of our websites is to cover topics broadly and deeply, and the ordering or completeness of our content is not influenced by compensation. No monetization data is shared with our editorial team in an effort to keep financial incentives separate from editorial decision-making. These standards apply across all Pacific Shores brands.
We build brands that cover topics and niches broadly and deeply. Our writers and contributors are subject-matter experts, and our content not only strives to answer questions but also more deeply reflects the personal experiences that our writers have had in their professional lives.
When possible, we look to incorporate expert insights, relevant data and analysis, and tools and quizzes that users can interact with to answer questions that they might have.
Our content is reviewed and fact-checked by our editorial team to ensure accuracy and correct information sourcing. Any edits are addressed prior to publication, and errors found post-publication are promptly corrected.
Wherever possible, Pacific Shores Research Group looks to integrate academics, practitioners, and students into its content. By integrating subject-matter experts into its content creation process, the output more clearly provides users with real-world insights into the day-to-day experiences of students, professionals, and patients.
Our experts contribute content in two primary ways: as writers and as expert commentators.
Our expert writers are typically practitioners such as licensed mental health counselors or nutritionists. They share their experience as students or medical professionals and generally produce in-depth, long-form pieces of content.
Our expert commentators will generally be asked to contribute a portion or section of content that typically provides a unique experience and complements a broader article.
Our content is generally bucketed into two types: data-based and informational content.
Data-based content is reviewed and updated on a biannual basis to align with updated data points. This includes information such as tuition costs, program fees, and other quantitative data points.
Informational content is reviewed annually and typically includes content types around career pathways and other blog-related topics.
Corrections and Updates
Our goal is to keep our content as updated as possible. If you believe that you have discovered an error, we welcome your feedback and will look to address immediately. You can contact us at info@pacshores.co with any feedback or suggestions, and someone from our editorial team will respond within 48 hours.
To support ongoing organizational operations and growth, we monetize our brands by introducing relevant paid listings where appropriate. We maintain a clear distinction between our monetization and editorial efforts, and we complete all our rankings independently of monetization efforts.
Advertisements are clearly labeled as sponsored and are optimized to be displayed in a relevant and helpful way to our users.
All of our experts are vetted for potential conflicts of interest. Sometimes our experts work for brands or teach at universities, so in these scenarios these connections are clearly communicated to our users. Our editorial team will also make decisions independently, with the best interest of our users and objective decision-making being the priority.
