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.
