Ethics Handling of Animals in Research
Experimental research on vertebrates or any regulated invertebrates must comply with institutional, national, or international guidelines, and, where available, should have been approved by an appropriate ethics committee. Field studies and other non-experimental research on animals must comply with institutional, national, or international guidelines, and, where available, should have been approved by an appropriate ethics committee.

Ethics handling Human Rights in Research
All manuscripts involving clinical investigations with humans or human materials must include a statement confirming that the project was approved by the local ethical committee. The statement should also indicate that all patients or test subjects provided written informed consent before participation, after receiving a thorough explanation of the study's purpose, procedures, potential risks, and benefits. The research must adhere to ethical standards that protect participants' rights, privacy, and well-being throughout the study according to Declaration of Helsinki of 1975 and the revised version in 2013 (https://www.wma.net/what-we-do/medical-ethics/declaration-of-helsinki/)

Informed Consent
Authors must ensure that Informed Consent Statement has been obtained from subjects, and individual(s) who is being reported on is aware of the possible consequences of that reporting. If subjects are vulnerable groups, Informed Consent Statement (oral or written) should be obtained by themselves or guardian. Submissions that include identifying patient information without appropriate patient consent will not be considered for publication.

The Informed Consent Statement should be archived by authors other than the Journal so that the patient confidentiality is better guarded.

According to ICMJE, Subjects have a right to privacy that should not be violated without informed consent. Identifying information, such as names, hospital numbers, fingerprint, should not be published in the manuscript unless they are essential for scientific purposes.
