Human and Animal Rights
Eye Science upholds the highest ethical standards when publishing research involving human and animal subjects.
For research involving human subjects, we require adherence to the following ethical guidelines:
1. Informed Consent: Informed consent must be obtained from participants in all studies involving human subjects. A clear statement that informed consent has been obtained should be included in the submitted manuscript.
2. Institutional Review Board (IRB) / Ethics Committee Approval: For studies involving human subjects, human-derived materials, or human medical records, the manuscript must include a statement in the Methods section confirming that the study has received approval from an IRB or ethics committee. Alternatively, if approval was deemed unnecessary by the IRB/ethics committee, this should also be stated.
3. Declaration of Helsinki: Research must comply with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki, and a statement confirming this adherence should be included in the manuscript.
4. Clinical Trial Registration: For clinical trials, the manuscript must include a statement in the Methods section regarding the trial's registration, along with information on how the registration details can be accessed.
For research involving animal subjects, the following requirements apply:
Animal Care and Use: Any study involving animals must receive approval from the relevant Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), and a statement of approval should be included in the Methods section of the manuscript.
By adhering to these stringent ethical guidelines, we aim to protect the rights and welfare of human and animal subjects while ensuring the quality and credibility of scientific research. We strongly encourage all authors to comply with these guidelines when preparing and submitting their manuscripts.
