Human & Animal
MedSciens Publishing Group has implemented policies to
guarantee the ethical protection and proper application of animals and humans
in research. These policies will be relevant to all journals published by
MedSciens Publishing Group. Authors engaged in experiments that include animals
and human subjects must strictly adhere to the following aspects.
It is essential for the authors to provide a statement in
the "Methods" section of the article confirming that they have
recognized the appropriate institutional and/or licensing committee and secured
approval from this committee for their experimental procedures.
The authors are required to state that all experiments were
performed in compliance with the applicable guidelines and regulations provided
by the committee.
The researcher has a responsibility to ensure the
confidentiality of the identities of the volunteers involved in the research.
A comprehensive explanation of possible side effects must be
given to patients and individuals. Moreover, it is imperative to adopt measures
that will protect their lives during the post-research period.
The author is required to explicitly mention any necessary permission
in the methods and materials section, and the editor may request the author(s)
to provide these documents before granting approval for the manuscript's
publication.
Approval from the ethics committee is crucial in all
instances. Breaching laws related to human, animal, and environmental welfare
may result in penalties.
When research involves animals or humans to gather data, it
is essential to secure prior approval from the ethics committee.
Authors are required to provide comprehensive information
regarding the ethics committee approval within the methods and materials
section. This should include the names and contact information of the ethics
committee members, the relevant protocol numbers, and the date on which the
approval was granted.
Authors who carry out experimental studies using
client-owned animals must obtain and present a document from the client that
affirms their commitment to best practices in animal testing.
The Editor-In-Chief will review the manuscripts submitted on
topics related to animal welfare. Should the research be found to conflict with
established norms regarding the treatment of animal and human subjects, the
manuscript may be rejected.
The Editor-In-Chief retains the authority to reach out to
the approving committee for any additional clarification needed.
