ETHICAL PRINCIPLES

1. Institutional authorization.

Approval of an Ethics Committee is required: (a) Research conducted on human beings; (b) Research that directly uses human biological material or identifiable human data.

2. Informed consent.

The authors must have, only when necessary, the informed consent signed by the study participants (patients). In case the Editor or any reviewer requests it, the author must provide it.

6. Ethical principles

a) Culture and heritage: Manuscripts approved for publication should not include images of objects that have cultural significance or are part of the heritage of a country.

b) Research with animals: Experiments with animals are carried out basically in three fields: teaching, industry and research. The use of animals in research is a privilege that must be carefully reserved in order to ensure relief to humans (and animals) from disease and pain; ignoring the suffering of each other would be irresponsible and unethical. Anyone who uses laboratory animals in his research must keep a premise: respect for life, for the pain or suffering to which they may be subjected in the studies he conducts. Research with animals must consider respect for the 4 R's ( Replacement : seek, as far as possible, alternative methods to the involvement of animals;  Reduction: try to reduce the number of animals to be used; Refinement : establish means that seek the integral welfare of the animals; Recycling . It aims to use experimental animals more than once for as many purposes). The authors must have the ethical and legal approval obtained by the institution that supports the research if requested.
