FAQs
About Life Science Daily News
What is Life Science Daily News?
We are a UK-based digital publication covering daily news on biotechnology, clinical trials, health tech, pharma, regulatory, and the business of life sciences for a global audience.
Who makes your content?
News and analysis come from our approved contributors and our editorial team. Member submissions are reviewed by editors before publication.
Is your content medical advice?
No. Our reporting is for general information only. Always seek professional advice for medical, regulatory, legal or investment decisions.
Accounts and subscriptions
Do I need an account?
Yes you need to create an account to submit content, manage your profile, and access member features. However, you do not need an account to view our content.
What plans do you offer?
We offer four options: Explorer (free), Professional (a monthly or annual subscription), Single Feature (a one-off article) and Press Release (per release, with bundles available). Current prices and what each option includes are on our Pricing page. Monthly and annual Professional subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled before the next billing date. You will get a reminder 14 days before payment is taken. If you cancel, access continues until the end of the paid period. No refunds once a payment has been taken (this does not affect your statutory rights).
What is the difference between Professional and Single Feature?
Professional is a subscription for regular coverage: up to 2 articles per month, published within 3 working days. Single Feature is a one-off purchase for one article, with editorial polish before publication, published within 48 hours of payment. Both permit promotional content and include an author and company byline with author bio, sharing on the LSDN social media channels, and inclusion in the LSDN newsletter.
How do press release bundles work?
Bundles are invoiced on purchase and are valid for 12 months. Each release is reviewed before publication, and if we decline a release the credit is returned to your bundle. Credits not used within 12 months expire.
I have a Pulse membership. What happens to my plan?
Pulse is no longer available to new members. Existing Pulse subscriptions continue on their current terms until cancelled. Once cancelled, a Pulse subscription cannot be restarted.
Will I receive the LSDN newsletter?
Yes. When you register or make a purchase, you are added to the weekly LSDN newsletter unless you tick the opt-out box at signup. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any newsletter email.
How do I cancel?
Go to Account Settings → Subscription. You can also contact us if you need help.
Will I get invoices/receipts?
Yes you can download invoices anytime from Account Settings → Billing.
What happens if my payment fails?
Your account will be put on hold until payment is resolved.
Posting allowances
How many posts can I submit?
Each plan includes a monthly post allowance shown on the pricing page and in your account. Articles count in the month they are submitted, and articles we decline do not count.
What if I hit my monthly limit early?
You will not be able to submit more until your next allowance month begins. Your month runs from the date your membership started, not the calendar month. If you need to publish more than 2 articles per month, get in touch and we’ll find the right arrangement for you.
Can I upgrade mid-month?
Yes. You can upgrade from Explorer to Professional at any time, and Professional features apply immediately. Upgrading starts a new billing cycle, so a new allowance of 2 articles applies from the date you upgrade, along with promotional content, faster publication, sharing on publication and newsletter inclusion.
Can Professional members submit press releases?
Yes. Press releases count toward your monthly allowance and are published with a Press Release label.
Submitting articles
Who can contribute?
Registered members aged eighteen or over, or the minimum legal age in their country to form a binding contract. See our Contributor Policy for standards.
What can I submit?
News, analysis, opinion, interviews, explainers and relevant press releases. Explorer content must be non-promotional. Promotional content is permitted on Professional, Single Feature and Press Release.
How does editorial review work?
All submissions are reviewed for relevance, compliance and house style. We may edit for length, clarity, house style, search optimisation and legal reasons, including changing or removing images. Publication is not guaranteed.
How are links treated?
Links in Professional, Single Feature and Press Release content carry the rel=“sponsored” attribute, in line with search engine guidance for paid content. Links in Explorer articles carry the rel=“nofollow” attribute. Links in our own LSDN Editorial Team articles, and links between our own pages, are standard editorial links. We do not sell links or accept payment to place them.
Do you use AI?
We use AI tools to support our editorial process, including checking spelling, grammar and formatting, helping with research and source checking, and assisting with research for articles published under the LSDN Editorial Team byline. Every article is reviewed, verified and edited by a member of our editorial team before publication, and editorial decisions are made by our team. We do not use contributor submissions to train AI models. See our Editorial Policy for more detail.
Do I keep my rights?
You keep ownership but grant us a worldwide, royalty-free licence to publish, edit, distribute and promote your content (see Terms /Contributor Policy).
What happens if I submit an article that is the same or similar to one that you have already received from another contributor?
Our editors will assess overlap and news value. We may decline duplicative pieces, request revisions to provide a new angle, or combine insights where appropriate. Submitting an article does not guarantee publication, and editorial decisions are final.
My article is no longer showing in My Submissions. Has it been lost?
No. While your article is with our editorial team for review, it does not appear in My Submissions. It will reappear once it is published. Nothing has been lost and you do not need to submit it again.
