Ethical approval must be obtained from a recognized institutional ethics committee or review board prior to conducting the research. The ethical clearance statement, including the name of the ethics committee and approval reference number, must be clearly stated in the manuscript.

For studies involving human participants, authors must ensure that informed consent was obtained from all participants, and that their rights to privacy and confidentiality were respected. In cases involving vulnerable populations, additional protections must be in place to ensure ethical compliance.

Authors are responsible for ensuring that their research complies with local, national, and international ethical guidelines and regulations. Failure to provide adequate ethical clearance documentation may result in the manuscript being rejected or withdrawn from publication.
