Informed Consent Policy
For studies containing human subjects the informed consent must be obtained from all individual participants (patients or volunteers) of the study and documented in the paper.
All submitted manuscripts are checked for documented evidence of the patient's consent to publication and any potentially deanonymizing information.
Material containing personal information about a patient without their consent will not be considered for peer review process and publication.
The scanned copies of consent should not be provided to the journal during submission but documented evidence that such consents have been obtained must be provided to Publisher upon request.
