Informed Consent Policy
The journal requires that all research involving human participants adhere to the highest ethical standards, which include obtaining informed consent. Authors must ensure that all study participants are fully informed about the research's nature, purpose, and potential risks. Participants should provide their voluntary, written consent before inclusion in the study. This consent must be documented and retained by the authors. The manuscript should include a statement confirming that informed consent was obtained from all participants under the Declaration of Helsinki and other relevant ethical guidelines. In cases where participants cannot provide written consent, the authors must explain the process for obtaining oral or other forms of consent and justify. The journal may request to review the consent forms as part of the manuscript submission process to verify compliance with these standards.
