Reporting approval by research ethics committees and subjects' consent in human resuscitation research

Reporting of ethical considerations in clinical trials in Chinese nursing journals

“…Apart from this study that explored the ethical situation of human research in nursing journals in China, there have been 15 articles available currently which identified the reporting of ethical process in clinical trials in national 32,33 and international periodicals. 24 –31,34 –38 Most of the results showed that ethical transgressions in clinical research remains less than ideal and the public confidence in medical research has been undermined as a result. However, whether to publish ethically suspect work remains controversial.…”

“…31 Investigators were more likely to document ethical approval, informed consent or both when periodicals mentioned the requirement in instructions. 30 However, author guidelines lack consistency, and some international journals do not provide authors with relevant guidance. For example, a literature review included 102 English-language biomedical journals identified that only approximately 50% of periodicals mentioned ethical approval and only 10% mentioned informed consent should be obtained in their instructions to authors.…”

Reporting ethics committee approval and informed consent: Review of an Ayurvedic journal

“…There are previous similar analyses in other streams of medicine where ethics committee approval was not reported in 24–84% of articles whereas consent was not reported in 20–75% of articles. [ 3 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 ] However, in previous reports, the assent was not reported in 81–85% of articles. [ 6 13 ]…”

Reporting ethical processes in two Indian journals

“…It has been found that 24% to 84% of articles published in various scientific journals do not mention about ECA, while 22% to 75% of published studies do not inform readers about written informed consent being taken [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Table 4. The journal, the year of publication, and the type of study design influence the proportion of published studies mentioning about these ethical aspects.…”

“…Generally it has been observed that over the years, there has been an increase in the proportion of studies reporting on these details. [5,10] Most of these studies have included randomized controlled trials [6,10,12] or prospective study designs for analysis. [5] Our study unearthed a relatively less reported fact: the proportion of articles with retrospective study design reporting about ECA was abysmally low (just over 8%).…”
