Ethical Considerations

Ebu Press Ltd recognizes the vital role of ethical research across diverse fields. We prioritize ethical considerations, particularly concerning vulnerable populations and endangered species. Our comprehensive policy framework guides researchers, reviewers, and editors in conducting and evaluating research ethically. When reporting research involving human subjects or the use of materials of human origin, authors must obtain prior institutional authorization. Furthermore, authors must include a statement in an appropriate section declaring that all experiments were carried out in compliance with the relevant laws and guidelines, in accordance with the ethical standards of the Declaration of Helsinki.

Research using recombinant DNA implies that physical and biological containment conformed to the guidelines of a corresponding agency in the authors’ country.

Animal experiments must also be performed under institutional authorization and in compliance with relevant laws and guidelines in the authors’ country. Authors are encouraged to adhere to animal research reporting standards, for example the ARRIVE guidelines for reporting study design and statistical analysis; experimental procedures; experimental animals and housing and husbandry.

Prisoner research related policy

In research involving prisoners, Ebu Press Ltd places utmost importance on safeguarding prisoners’ dignity and well-being. We strictly prohibit the acceptance and publication of any research data related to prisoners on our platforms. Authors are required to explicitly state in the ethical approval statement the source from which the data was collected.

Indigenous people’s research related policy

Respecting indigenous peoples’ cultural identities, traditions, and knowledge is paramount. Ebu Press Ltd mandates meaningful engagement and consultation, incorporating indigenous perspectives and methodologies. Free, prior, and informed consent is fundamental. Community benefits and capacity-building initiatives are prioritized.

Minor’s research related policy

Ebu Press Ltd ensures minors’ protection, welfare, and well-being in research. Strict ethical guidelines mandate obtaining consent from parents or legal guardians and assent from minors whenever possible. Safety, privacy, and dignity are prioritized, with proactive measures to address any adverse effects.

Critically endangered species research related policy

Conservation and protection of critically endangered species are prioritized. Researchers must comply with laws and regulations, prioritize non-invasive methods, and collaborate with relevant stakeholders to ensure research contributes to species recovery and sustainability.

Extinct in wild species research related policy       

Researching extinct species in the wild requires sensitivity and collaboration to preserve ecological integrity. Ebu Press Ltd mandates collaboration with relevant experts, preservation of fossil sites, and engagement with local communities to respect cultural connections.
