2  Medical Ethics

For research studies using human subjects, the authors must provide a copy of the appropriate Institutional Review Board approval document with official seals and a record of explicit consent from involved patient (s).

Medical research is required to follow the basic principles of medical ethics. For manuscripts reporting studies involving human participants, it is required to indicate in the main body of the manuscript that the study has obtained the letter of approval from the ethics committee of the author’s institution, as well as an informed consent signed by the subjects or their guardians. The letter of approval document from the committee should be submitted to the Editorial Office for review. In addition, the authors should protect the privacy of the subjects by taking care to obscure the face and avoid exposing patient-identifiable information such as the name or ID number in specimens and imaging pictures.

If the manuscript involves animal experiments, the authors should state in the manuscript that the experiments follow the animal rights requirements established by the relevant ethics committee and provide the Editorial Office with a written certificate from the relevant ethics committee.
