Abstract:
We must confirm "instructions for authors" in a medical journal before we submit a manuscript to the journal. Human studies must conform to ethical standards, and be approved by the appropriate Institutional Review Board (IRB). Most "instruction for authors" require to obey "WMA Declaration of Helsinki-Ethical Principles for Medical Research Involving Human Subjects", "Uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals: Writing and editing for biomedical publication" etc. The editors of journal are concerned about appropriate IRB review and informed consent. Lack of appropriate consent or documentation may be grounds for rejection, and we must understand the necessary guidelines before starting a study.
