| I. Original Editorial Content |
| This category includes articles independently conceived and planned by the iDS editorial team. All content is written, edited, or produced through editorial planning and interviews conducted by iDS. Sponsors and interviewees have no authority to influence the editorial direction, content, or presentation.
The editorial team—or the designated interview editor—retains full and final authority over content review, approval, publication, and presentation. Regardless of whether the article is written by the iDS editorial team or by a planning editor within the business department, the byline will identify the author as the Editorial Team, Interview Editor, Business Department, or Planning Editor. Planning editors are part of the business department, not the editorial department. |

| II. Advertorial Content |
| This category includes content jointly planned by the iDS business team and partner companies and is not initiated by the editorial department. All brand- or company-related content within these articles—whether written by a planning editor from the iDS business team or provided directly by the partner company—will carry a byline identifying the Business Department or the content provider/partner. |
| |
| III. Press Releases |
| This category includes content provided directly by companies or partner organizations and is not initiated by the editorial department. Any company-related content in these articles will list the content provider or the company as the author in the byline. |
