摘要

背景:补充和替代医学(CAM)方面的医学研究近来有所增加,引发了人们对 CAM 道德地位的关注。医学学术期刊有责任对稿件进行伦理审查(ER),以保护人类受试者的利益,并在决定发表前提供符合伦理的结果。然而,目前还没有对 CAM 期刊的伦理审查进行系统分析。本研究旨在评估目前 CAM 期刊的伦理要求和遵守情况:这是一项横向研究。我们查阅了《期刊引证报告》(2021 年)( https://jcr.clarivate.com )中收录的 CAM 期刊的作者须知(IFAs),以了解一般信息和伦理要求。我们还浏览了2023年1月至6月CAM期刊在Q1和Q2版发表的有关随机对照试验的稿件,以了解伦理要求的实际情况。统计分析采用描述性统计和费雪精确检验。92.6%(25/27)的《国际金融报》包含伦理要求的关键词,表明存在伦理方面的考虑。然而,CAM(n = 0)不需要特定的 ER。我们按照地理来源、JCR 栏目、JCR 电子版年份、研究类型、OA 金牌娱乐百分比对期刊进行了分类,以探讨可能影响 CAM 期刊制定某些伦理审查政策的因素。结果表明,在任何期刊分类中,某些伦理审查政策均无统计学意义(P > 0.05)。本研究收录的所有 RCT 手稿基本符合已出版期刊的伦理审查要求:所有的《国际金融报》都讨论了伦理审查,但内容分散、重点不突出,而且没有对 CAM 提出具体的伦理审查要求。虽然稿件基本符合期刊要求,但无法更贴近稿件中的伦理审查过程。为确保这些政策在未来得到全面落实,CAM期刊应要求作者提供更多细节,或形成CAM伦理审查的必要项目清单。

Ethical requirements of instructions for authors of complementary and alternative medicine journals: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Medical research in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has increased recently, raising ethical concerns about the moral status of CAM. Medical academic journals are responsible for conducting ethical review (ER) of manuscripts to protect the interests of human subjects and to make ethical results available before deciding to publish. However, there has been no systematic analysis of the ER in CAM journals. This study is aim to evaluate the current status of ethical requirements and compliance in CAM journals.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. We reviewed instructions for authors (IFAs) of CAM journals included in the Journal Citation Reports (2021) ( https://jcr.clarivate.com ) for general information and requirements for ER. We also browsed the manuscripts regarding randomized controlled trials published by CAM journals in Q1 and Q2 section from January to June, 2023, to check the actual situation of ethical requirement. Descriptive statistics and Fisher's exact test were used for statistical analysis.

Results: 27 journals and 68 manuscripts were ultimately included. 92.6% (25/27) IFAs included keywords of ER, indicating the presence of ethical considerations. However, no specific ER was required for CAM (n = 0). We categorized journals by Geographic origin, JCR section, Year of electronic JCR, Types of studies, % of OA Gold to explore the factors that could influence CAM journals to have certain ethical review policies. The results showed there was no statistical significance in certain ethical review policy in any classification of journals (p > 0.05). All RCT manuscripts included in the study generally met the requirements of the published journals for ethical review.

Conclusions: All IFAs discussed ER, but the content was scattered, unfocused, and there were no specific ER requirements regarding CAM. Although the manuscripts basically met the requirements of the journal, it was not possible to get closer to the process of ER in the manuscript. To ensure full implementation of these policies in the future, CAM journals should require authors to provide more details, or to form a list of items necessary for CAM ethical review.
