Research ethics: How to be prepared for the requirements of journals and funders

When you apply for funding for a study, or when you want to publish your results in an international journal, you will increasingly be met by questions and/or requirements relating to research ethics: Permission from an Institutional Review Board (IRB) regarding human research subjects; permission from an IRB regarding use of animals; data sharing and management; author contributions; and conflicts of interests. In some countries, IRB requirements can be particularly difficult to fulfill, while the others may be easier to deal with but still require skills and preparation. The aim of this workshop is to familiarize participants with these requirements and how they are currently developing, and to share tips and tricks on how best to manage them.

Three following questions will be discussed with the participants:

  1. When do you need a permission from an IRB regarding the use of human subjects?
  2. When do you need a permission from an IRB regarding the use of animals?
  3. What other requirements regarding research ethics should you expect from journals and funders?
