Frequently asked questions.
How to use the guides, understand references and find the next step in your reading.
What can I find on STM Editores?
Introductory guides to organise reading by specialty and a directory of external resources. We aim to help you distinguish formats, locate sources and formulate better study questions.
Are the linked publications published by STM Editores?
The directory resources belong to the institutions or organisations identified in each entry. Linking to them does not imply that we publish them, have a partnership or hold rights to them.
Can I buy books on this website?
This version of the website does not include a shop or a verified commercial catalogue. To ask about a particular reference, use the contact page and include its title, author or ISBN if available.
Are all external resources free?
Access depends on the provider and the document. A search tool may display an abstract and link to full text with access restrictions. Always check the original page.
Can these guides replace medical advice?
No. They are learning and reading resources, not clinical protocols or individual recommendations. Health decisions require professional assessment.
Do the images show real books or cases?
The images are illustrative. They do not show real patients and should not be used as diagnostic diagrams. The illustrated books are not a product catalogue.
How was the content prepared?
The content draws on public sources, combining short summaries and reading guidance. It is not presented as content reviewed by a clinical specialist. Each guide provides its criteria and references.
How can I report a correction?
Email the contact address with the page URL, the affected passage or link and, if possible, a reference that helps us verify it. Please do not include personal clinical information.
