Policies On Animal & Human Rights

Research submissions must strictly adhere to ethical frameworks and legal compliance. If the research involves human or animal subjects, the author must transparently detail the procedures in the manuscript, conducted in accordance with relevant institutional guidelines and committees.

The manuscript should explicitly state the approval obtained from the appropriate committees.

Editors hold the right to reject a manuscript on ethical grounds if there are severe suspicions that the research was not conducted within the stipulated ethical framework. This policy extends to manuscripts with ethics committee approvals.

The integrity of human participants should be preserved throughout the research. If hazardous chemicals or procedures are involved, the author must disclose this in the manuscript, ensuring that animals and human participants are not adversely affected.

Informed Consent and Code of Ethics

Human participants have the right to privacy and must provide explicit consent for their involvement in the experiment. A signed written agreement, archived with the author or the journal in accordance with legal requirements, is mandatory.

Any information about participants should only be shared if necessary for the article. In such cases, the author must justify the inclusion of personal information.

However, identifiable material that could potentially disclose a participant's involvement in the experiment must not be revealed. It is the author's responsibility to obtain informed consent and safeguard the anonymity of their subjects.
