Publication Ethics

Publication Ethics Guidelines

Human Participant-Based Research

Authors who report on research involving human subjects, human material, human tissues, or human data must follow the standards described in the 1975 Declaration of Helsinki (https://www.wma.net/what-we-do/medical-ethics/declaration-of-helsinki/) , which was amended in 2008. According to point 23 of this declaration, seeking clearance from an ethical committee is required prior to undertaking the research. The article's Methods Section should include, at the very least, a statement indicating the project identification code, the date of approval, and the name of the ethics committee or institutional review board.

Individual participants' data must be described in detail, but private identifying information should only be included if it is important to the research (for example, images of recognizable symptoms). Manuscripts that do not satisfy these conditions may be rejected by the editors.

Ethical Statement: "All human subjects provided informed consent prior to participating in the study." The research followed the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki, and the protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of XXX (Project identification code).

All participants must provide written, informed consent for publishing. A example form is supplied for reference, and authors may offer a comprehensive reason if informed consent is not required. Consent forms for publishing in JOMSSI should offer unlimited authorization for publication in all modes (print, electronic, and online), sublicensing, translations, derivative works, and under an open access license. Authors may be required to supply signed paperwork if the journal deems it essential.
