How to get published

TRANSCRIPT

If your work involves experiments on humans or animals, it must follow applicable ethics standards, such as the most recent version of the Helsinki Declaration and/or relevant (local, national, and international) animal experimentation guidelines.

Approval of a local ethics committee is required and should always be specified at this point in the manuscript, covering letter, or the online submission system. However, even approval of a local ethics committee does not guarantee that the editors will also agree that the work was done in an acceptable manner.
