For all manuscripts involving human participants, the journal requires strict adherence to ethical research practices. Authors must confirm that informed consent was obtained from all participants—or their legal guardians in the case of minors or individuals unable to provide consent—after a full explanation of the study’s aims, procedures, potential risks, and benefits. This requirement applies to both prospective and retrospective research studies. Authors must include a statement in their manuscript affirming that informed consent was acquired in compliance with ethical standards and relevant regulations.

By submitting to JCPR, authors confirm that all necessary ethical approvals and informed consents were obtained prior to conducting the study. In the case of doubt, authors are encouraged to consult the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) guidelines. The journal takes ethical responsibility seriously. Failure to adhere to these principles may result in rejection of the manuscript, retraction of published work, and notification to relevant institutional or regulatory authorities.
