Ethical Clearance

The Journal of Collaborative Community (JoCC) requires that all research involving human participants or animals adheres to ethical standards and obtains appropriate ethical clearance prior to submission. Authors must provide evidence of ethical approval from relevant institutional review boards or ethics committees.

In addition, authors are expected to include a statement in their manuscript detailing the ethical considerations related to their research, including informed consent from participants and any measures taken to ensure the welfare of animals if applicable.

Failure to comply with these ethical requirements may result in rejection of the manuscript or retraction if the research is published without proper clearance. Upholding ethical standards is essential for maintaining the integrity of research published in JoCC.
