Contribute
AnatomyQuest is community-driven — like Wikipedia, anyone can help improve the content directly on the site. You do not need any technical skills. If you know anatomy, you can contribute.
How to contribute
Contributing works like editing a Wikipedia article. You write or edit content in a draft, then submit it for review. Here are the steps:
Open the page you want to edit
Navigate to any content page on the site and click the Edit button to open the editor.
Write your content in the editor
Use the editor to make your changes — fix a typo, rewrite a confusing explanation, add a new section, or fill in missing details. Your edits are saved as a draft until you are ready to submit.
Add your references
List any sources you used — textbooks, peer-reviewed articles, or other reliable anatomy references. This helps our review team verify the accuracy of your contribution.
Submit for review
When you are done, click Publish to submit your draft. Our team reviews every submission for accuracy and clarity before it goes live on the site.
What you can contribute
Fix mistakes
Spotted an error in a bone description, a mislabeled structure, or an incorrect fact? Edit the page and correct it.
Improve explanations
If a section is confusing or incomplete, rewrite it in clearer language. Better wording helps every student who reads the page.
Add new content
Write a new section, describe an anatomical landmark, or add clinical significance to an existing structure.
Suggest diagrams or images
Recommend where a labeled diagram or additional view would help. Describe what the image should show and we will work on creating it.
Contribution guidelines
- Use your own words. Do not copy content from other websites. Rephrase information from your sources.
- Cite your sources. Include references to textbooks or peer-reviewed anatomy resources so reviewers can verify accuracy.
- Write for students. Use clear, plain language. Explain jargon when you use it.
- Follow the site's philosophy. Explain the why behind structures, not just the what.
