Abstract
For many researchers, the ethical approval process can appear confusing, overwhelming, or irrelevant. Common sources of confusion include knowing which types of ethics approvals are required, how to get the approval, and understanding the language surrounding the review process. This editorial discusses the importance of ethics in creating and reporting quality research and provides a practical guide to help navigate the ethical approval process.
