摘要
本文以31种综合性医药卫生期刊为调查对象,收集论文中与"涉及人的生命科学和医学研究"伦理审查声明相关的信息,并进行统计学描述和分析.结果显示,669篇论文中共有324篇"涉及人的生命科学和医学研究"(占全部论文的48.4%).其中210篇(64.8%)标注有伦理审查声明(包括203篇"通过/已获伦理审查"论文和7篇"免除伦理审查"论文),114篇(35.2%)文中"无伦理审查声明"论文.进一步分析结果显示,期刊对论文是否"涉及人的研究"评判标准不一、审查不严;"伦理审查委员会"的名称表述不统一;伦理审批编号规则不统一、不具有自明性;期刊对免除伦理审查要求不一、把握不准;知情同意意识淡薄且知情同意形式多样.可见,学术期刊整体对"涉及人的生命科学和医学研究"伦理审查声明标注情况不容乐观,有必要对论文伦理审查流程和刊出格式进行规范.
Abstract
This study investigated 31 comprehensive medical and health journals,collecting and conducting statistical descriptions and analyses of information related to ethical review statements in papers involving"human-related life sciences and medical research."The results indicated that out of 669 papers,324(accounting for 48.4%of the total)were categorized as"involving human-related life sciences and medical research."Among these,210 papers(64.8%)included ethical review statements(comprising 203 papers with"approved/obtained ethical review"and 7 papers with"exempt from ethical review"),while 114 papers(35.2%)lacked"ethical review statements."Further analysis revealed that journals had inconsistent criteria for determining whether a paper involved human research and conducted lax reviews;the naming conventions for"Ethics Review Committees"were not unified;the rules for ethical approval numbers were inconsistent and lacked self-explanatory clarity;journals had varying requirements and uncertain understandings regarding exemptions from ethical review;and there was a weak awareness of informed consent,despite diverse forms of informed consent observed.It is evident that the overall situation regarding the labeling of ethical review statements in academic journals for"human-related life sciences and medical research"is not optimistic.There is a need to standardize the ethical review process and publication format for papers.
