Ethical principles and Registration of Clinical Trials

Experimental procedures in humans and animals

The Journal of Research in Dentistry reassures the principles incorporated in the Helsinky Declaration and insists that all research involving human beings, in the event of publication in this journal, be conducted in conformity with such principles and others specified in the respective ethics committees of authors’ institution. In the case of experiments with animals, such ethical principles must also be followed. When surgical procedures in animals were used, the authors should present, in the Material and Methods section, evidence that the dose of a proper substance was adequate to produce anesthesia during the entire surgical procedure. All experiments conducted in human or animals must accompany a description, in the Material and Methods section, that the study was approved by the respective Ethics Committee of authors’ affiliation and provide the number of the protocol approval.
Papers presenting clinical trials or clinical studies in human volunteers or in animals must contain the Ethical Committee approval of the reports of the results presented for publication as mandatory supplementary file.

Clinical Trial Registration - International Standard Randomized Controlled Trial Number (ISRCTN)

The Journal of Research in Dentistry supports the policies of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) for the registration of clinical trials. The journal recognizes the importance of such initiatives for the registration and international publication of clinical studies with an open access. Therefore, the Journal of Research in Dentistry will publish only those clinical trials that have previously received an identification number, the ISRCTN, validated by the criteria established by the WHO and ICMJE. The WHO defines clinical trials as "any research study that prospectively assigns human participants or groups of humans to one or more health-related interventions to evaluate the effects on health outcomes. Interventions include but are not restricted to drugs, cells and other biological products, surgical procedures, radiologic procedures, devices, behavioral treatments, process-of-care changes, preventive care, etc". Manuscripts presenting clinical trials in human volunteers must be submitted with the following mandatory supplementary files:
• CONSORT 2010 checklist (http://www.consort-statement.org/);
• registration number of the research in a database that meets the requirements of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE)
• Suggestions: for Brazilian authors: http://www.ensaiosclinicos.gov.br/
• Suggestions for Brazilian and non-Brazilian authors: http://www.controlled-trials.com/ (ISRCTN) or http://prsinfo.clinicaltrials.gov.
The Editor-in-Chief and the Editorial Board reserve the right to refuse manuscripts that show no clear evidence that the methods used were not appropriate for experiments in humans or animals.
