Ethics Approval and Consent Form
For manuscripts reporting studies involving human participants, human data, or human tissue, authors must complete and submit the journal’s official Ethics Approval and Consent Form.
The form includes two mandatory components:
-
Ethics Approval Code – Provide the reference/approval number from the relevant Institutional Review Board (IRB) or of Institutional scientific and ethical committee.
-
Certificate of Author Consent – A signed declaration by all authors confirming that ethical approval was obtained (where applicable) and that the study was conducted in accordance with ethical standards.
Manuscripts will not be considered for peer review without a completed and signed form.
The form is available for download at: [Ethical Approval Form]
