Respecting Participant Rights in Interdisciplinary Research

At the Journal of Interdisciplinary Social, Digital, Creative & Engineering Studies (JISDCES), we uphold the ethical principles of human subject research by requiring informed consent for all studies involving human participants, their data, or identifiable materials.

📜 General Principles

• Informed consent must be obtained prior to participation, ensuring individuals are aware of the research scope, procedures, risks, and benefits.
• Consent must be freely given, informed, and documented, adhering to international standards such as the Declaration of Helsinki, Belmont Report, and Nuremberg Code.

📋 Requirements for Manuscript Submission

• A statement confirming ethical committee approval and informed consent must be included in the manuscript.
• For studies involving minors or vulnerable populations, consent must be obtained from legal guardians, with appropriate safeguards documented.
• If ethical approval was waived, an explanation and exemption documentation must be included.
• Identifiable images, videos, or personal information must only be published with explicit written consent from participants. Anonymization techniques like blurring are not acceptable substitutes without consent.
• Human organ/tissue studies must explicitly state that no biological materials were obtained from prisoners or unethical sources.
• All novel clinical techniques must include ethical approval and informed consent, unless already validated by the research institution.

✍️ Authorship & Acknowledgment

• Contributors who do not qualify for authorship (e.g., translators, statistical advisors, etc.) must be credited in the Acknowledgment section.
• Changes to authorship require written approval from all listed authors and must follow COPE guidelines.
