 | Post date: 2023/08/29 | 

Compliance with ethical standards in all stages of research, from design to implementation and publication of biomedical research in various fields and disciplines. In this regard, many activities Therefore, respected researchers are required to comply with the ethical standards in publishing their research, according to the standards of the National Committee of Ethics in Biomedical Research, in order to cooperate with the specialized journal of transmissible diseases between humans and animals.
 
  1. The main goal of any research should be to promote health along with respecting their dignity and rights. ( National guide for publishing research works in medical sciences )
  2. In research on the subject, the health and safety of the subjects during and after the implementation of the research has priority over all other matters. Any research that is conducted on a subject must be designed and implemented by people who have the necessary and relevant expertise and clinical skills. In clinical trials healthy volunteers ( 31 codes of ethics in research with human subjects )
  3. Research is justified only if its potential benefits for each subject are greater In research with a non-therapeutic nature, the level of damage that the subject is exposed to should not be more than what they face in their daily life. Ensuring this is the responsibility of the designers, executives, and colleagues of the research and all the research review or monitoring councils, including the research ethics committee.
  4. Things such as speed, ease of work, convenience of the researcher, lower cost, and /or practicality should in no way expose the subject to additional risk or loss or impose any additional restrictions on him. ( professional ethics )
  5. Before starting any research, preliminary measures should be taken to minimize possible harm to subjects and ensure their health. ( determining the intensity of interventions )
  6. In double-blind clinical trials, where the subject is unaware of the nature of the medication or intervention prescribed for him, the researcher must prepare the necessary measures to help
  7. If during the implementation of the research, it is determined that the risks of participating in this research for the subjects are greater than its potential
  8. The design and implementation of research conducted on human subjects must be in accordance with the accepted scientific principles based on current knowledge and based on a complete review of available scientific resources and previous laboratory necessary, suitable animal research. Animal studies must be conducted in full compliance with the ethical principles of working with laboratory animals. ( animal care guide )
  9. In medical research necessary precautions
  10. Every research should be done based on a proposal. In clinical trials, The design of the letter and instructions must include all the necessary components. including the ethical considerations section, information related to the budget, sponsors, organizational affiliations, other potential conflicts of interest, and participants' incentives In cases where it is necessary to obtain informed consent writing, the consent form must be prepared and submitted to the plan letter is attached. The implementation of the research should not be started before the draft letter is approved or approved by the independent research ethics committee.
  11. In addition to reviewing and approving the draft letter and instructions, the research ethics committee has the right to monitor the drafts Information and documents requested by the ethics committee for monitoring should be provided by researchers to this committee.    
  12. The selection of potential subjects the distribution of burdens (risks or costs ) and benefits of participating in the research, in that population and the whole society, are not discriminatory
  13. Informed and free consent is required in any research conducted This consent must be in writing. In cases where obtaining written informed consent is impossible or can be omitted, the matter should be referred to the ethics committee with reasons. If approved by the ethics committee
  14. If, during the conduct of the research, a change is made in the way the research is carried out or new information is obtained that is likely to influence the subject's decision to continue to be brought to the notice of the research, the committee should inform the subject and obtain informed consent again.
  15. The researcher must ensure that the informed consent is taken. For this purpose, in all medical research, both therapeutic and non-therapeutic, the researcher is obliged to properly inform the person considered as a subject of all the information that can be effective in his decision-making. make This information includes: the title and objectives of the research, the duration of the research, the method that is going to be used ( including the possibility of random assignment to the case or control group), funding sources, any possible conflicts of interest, the researcher's organizational affiliation, and the benefits and harms that the study is expected Also, every subject should know thatHe can withdraw from the study at any moment and he must be informed and supported about the potential risks and losses caused by early withdrawal from the study. The researcher should also answer all the questions and concerns of these people with patience and accuracy. These items should be reflected in the informed consent letter.
  16. The researcher must ensure that the consent given is free. Behaviors that involve threats, seduction, deception, or coercion in any way will invalidate the subject's consent. The person should be given sufficient opportunity to consult with anyone they wish - such as family members or the family doctor. Also, in research where the researcher has a higher organizational position than the subject, the reasons for this way of recruiting subjects must be approved by the ethics committee
  17. The senior researcher is directly responsible for providing sufficient information in an understandable language for the subject, ensuring the understanding of the information provided, and obtaining informed consent. In cases where, for some reason, such as a large number of subjects, this notification is done through another person, it is the senior researcher who is responsible for choosing a knowledgeable and suitable person for this work and ensuring that the aforementioned conditions are met. It is in this paragraph.
  18. In research that uses body materials (including body tissues whose identity is known or can be discovered and traced, it should be collected, analyzed, and stored. and/or reuse them with informed consent. In cases where it is impossible to obtain consent or it impairs if the case is reviewed and approved by the ethics committee stored data
  19. Not accepting to participate in the research, or not continuing to cooperate, should not have any effect on the medical services provided to the individual in the same institution - such as a hospital. This matter should be informed to the subject in the process of taking informed consent.
  20. In cases where informing the subject about an aspect of the research reduces the validity of the research, the necessity of incomplete information be approved by the ethics committee After removing the factor of this restriction, the subject should be fully informed
  21. Vulnerable groups such as the mentally disabled, children, fetuses and infants, emergency patients, or prisoners who may participate in the research and have the necessary knowledge or freedom to give consent should be considered. be under special protection.
  22. Vulnerable groups should never be used as preferred subjects (for reasons such as ease of access). Medical research using vulnerable groups or communities is justified only if it is designed and implemented with the aim of responding to the health needs and priorities
  23. In research on vulnerable groups, the duty of obtaining informed consent is not fulfilled. In the case of people who have a legal guardian, the researcher is obliged to take informed consent from the legal guardian, in accordance with the person's own capacity, in addition to taking informed consent. In any case, the refusal of these people to participate in the research should be respected.
  24. If during the research, a subject with capacity loses his capacity or a subject without capacity gains capacity, then according to the resulting change, informed consent for the continuation of the research should be obtained from the legal guardian or the individual himself. 
  25. The researcher is responsible for observing the principle of confidentiality keeping the subjects' secrets and taking appropriate measures to prevent its publication. Also, the researcher is obliged to ensure the subjects' privacy during the research. Any release of data or information obtained from patients must be based on informed consent.
  26. Any type of injury or damage caused by participating in the research must be compensated according to the approved laws. This should be taken into account when designing the research. The way to realize this is preferably in the form of unconditional insurance coverage.
  27. At the end of the research, every person who entered the study as a be informed about that have been shown to be relieved
  28. Researchers are obliged to publish the results of their research results, whether positive or negative, as well as funding sources, organizational affiliations, and conflicts of interest—if any—must be fully disclosed. When concluding a research contract, researchers should not accept any conditions regarding the removal or non-publication of findings that are not favorable from the point of view of the sponsor of the research.
  29. The way of reporting the results of the research should guarantee the material and intellectual rights of all the persons related to the research, including the researcher or researchers, the subjects, and the institution sponsoring the research.
  30. Reports and articles resulting from research that violate the provisions of this guide should not be accepted for publication.
  31. The research method should not be in contradiction with the social, cultural, and religious values
  32. Plagiarism
    All articles sent to the journal are checked for plagiarism, so respected authors should check their articles before sending it. If the editor suspects plagiarism or any other scientific fraud, he has the authority to follow the policies of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE)   and has the right to pursue this issue publicly and openly from the authors and the relevant organization.     The specialized quarterly journal of transmissible diseases between humans and animals is not currently a member of COPE, but the policy of the journal is to follow its principles and standards.
