Ethical Clearance

Subject consent forms

Subjects have a right to privacy that should not be infringed without informed consent. Identifying details (written or photographic) should be omitted if they are not essential, but subject data should never be altered or falsified to attain anonymity. Complete anonymity is difficult to achieve, and a consent form should be obtained if there is any doubt.

Ethics committee approval

Authors must sign that the research was conducted within the guidelines below and under the terms of all relevant local legislation. For Indonesians, please check in Procedure Ethical Clearance BRIN (see the categories). The Editors reserve the right to judge the appropriateness of using and treating humans or animals in experiments for publication in the journal.

Human experiments: Papers describing experimental work on human participants that carries a risk of harm must include (1) a statement that the experiments were conducted with the understanding and consent of each participant and (2) a statement that the responsible, ethical committee has approved the experiments.

Animal experiments: In papers describing experiments on living animals include (1) a complete description of any anesthetic and surgical procedure used and (2) evidence that all possible steps were taken to avoid animals' suffering at each experiment stage. Describe the precautions taken to ensure adequate anesthesia in experiments involving muscle relaxants.

Experiments on isolated tissues: Indicate precisely how you obtained the donor tissue. Anything related to collecting and processing tissue from animals must obtain ethical approval from moral institutions.

Research in vitro in the laboratory, not directly related to specimen collection or direct intervention from humans and animals, does not require an ethical study. Continue to be registered in an honest review and receive an exempted statement from the ethical committee. The statement can also be attached to the publication.
