Ethical Research & Publication Policies

JBRES is committed to responsible open-access publishing. We publish research only when ethical approvals, participant protections, and transparent reporting are ensured. These policies exist to protect research participants, uphold scientific integrity, and help authors build trust in their findings—making your work stronger, citable, and globally respected.

Core Policies

The following policies describe how JBRES ensures ethical compliance and responsible research communication. Our objective is not to create barriers—it is to ensure your article is credible, trusted, and accepted by the scientific community.

Human Rights, Privacy & Confidentiality

Research involving humans must protect dignity, privacy, and confidentiality. Authors should confirm ethics approval (IRB/IEC), describe consent procedures, and ensure identifiable data is handled responsibly. For special cases (minors, vulnerable groups, retrospective studies), additional safeguards may apply.

Read Human/Animal Rights Policy

Culture, Heritage & Sensitive Content

JBRES recognizes that cultural heritage and sensitive content require careful handling. Editors may request documentation of permissions for culturally sensitive images, human remains, ancestral materials, religious content, or community-linked data. Where appropriate, authors should demonstrate respectful engagement and transparent attribution.

  • Seek permissions from relevant communities or curating institutions
  • Avoid harm, misrepresentation, or stigma in descriptions
  • Ensure clear attribution and lawful intellectual property handling

Registering Clinical Trials

Clinical trials should be registered before participant enrollment when required by recognized standards. Manuscripts must include the registry name and registration number. If registration is not required or was not completed, authors should provide a clear explanation in the manuscript.

Tip: Add a dedicated “Trial Registration” line in your Methods section for faster editorial checks.

Biosecurity & Dual-Use Research

Authors must disclose if research could potentially be used for harmful purposes (“dual-use research”). For such research, we may request additional review or clarifications regarding safety, risk mitigation, and compliance with relevant biosecurity guidance.

Reporting Guidelines & Reproducibility

Transparent reporting improves reproducibility and citations. We encourage authors to follow established reporting standards relevant to study design (e.g., clinical studies, observational research, systematic reviews, laboratory work). Providing complete methods, statistics, and data availability strengthens credibility.

Recommended: Include detailed methodology, instruments, analysis pipeline, and limitations.

Informed Consent

Informed consent is a pre-requirement for any research that involves human participants. For case reports, patient images, or identifiable information, written consent is essential.

Read Informed Consent Policy

Conflict of Interest (COI)

Authors must disclose any financial or personal relationships that could influence interpretation. If there is no conflict, a “No conflict of interest” statement must be included.
