Ethics Committee Approval 

Authors must complete the MediTerra Ethical Declaration Form and submit it to the journal with their manuscript. For studies that require Ethics Committee approval (survey, interview, focus group study, observation, experiment), a document indicating that approval has been obtained must be submitted and this approval must be stated in the article. Information about the ethics committee approval, such as the name of the committee, date and number, should be included in the method section of the study on one of the first/last pages. The author(s) should disclose any potential conflicts of interest affecting the research or results presented in their article.
