Informed Consent Policy

Informed Consent Policy

Subjects have a right to privacy that should not be violated without informed consent. Identifying information, including names, initials, or hospital numbers, should not be published in written descriptions, photographs, or pedigrees unless the information is essential for scientific purposes and the patient (or parent or guardian) gives written informed consent for publication. Authors should disclose to these patients whether any potential identifiable material might be available via internet as well as in print after publication. Nonessential identifying details should be omitted.

IJRIAR decides that patient confidentiality is better guarded by having the authors archive the consent, and instead providing us with a written statement in the manuscript attesting that they have received and archived written patient consent. When informed consent has been obtained, it should be indicated later in the published article.

Intellectual Properties

A patent is a form of intellectual property that gives its owner the legal right to exclude others from making, using, or selling an invention for a limited period of years in exchange for publishing an enabling public disclosure of the invention. In most countries, patent rights fall under private law and the patent holder must sue someone infringing the patent to enforce their rights.

Appropriate consent/permission/release must be obtained when the author wishes to include details, personal information, images, and any other materials of the patent. It is the responsibility of the author to ensure that such written consent/ permission/release or Copyright Transfer Agreement must be retained by the author and copies of the consent or evidence must be provided to IJRIAR.

Legally IJRIAR reserved all the rights to disqualify such material from the publication if found suspicious.
