Ethical responsibilities

In studies that include human beings, the ethical standards considered must be indicated and the approval opinion number of an ethics committee must be available. The need to use informed consent and other ethical aspects must be carried out taking into account the International Ethical Guidelines for research involving human beings of the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS).

For research involving animals, the CIOMS International Guiding Principles for Biomedical Research on Animals https://olaw.nih.gov/sites/default/files/Guiding_Principles_2012.pdf should be considered, and for studies involving the environment, the relevant biosafety regulations should be taken into account according to the type of research and its impact on the environment.
