           3. Research and Publication Ethics
           3.1 Research Involving Human Subjects
           All studies involving human subjects must be in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration and seek approval to conduct the
           study from an independent local, regional, or national review body (e.g., ethics committee, institutional review board, etc.).
           Such approval, including the names of the ethics committee, institutional review board, etc., must be listed in a declaration
           statement of Ethical Approval and Consent to Participate in the manuscript. If the study is judged exempt from ethics
           approval, related information (e.g., name of the ethics committee granting the exemption and the reason for the exemption)
           must be listed. Further documentation on ethics should also be prepared, as Editors may request more detailed information.
           Manuscripts with suspected ethical problems will be investigated according to COPE Guidelines.
           3.1.1 Consent to Participate
           For all studies involving human subjects, informed consent to participate in the studies must be obtained from participants,
           or their parents or legal guardians for children under 16. Statements regarding consent to participate should be included in a
           declaration statement of Ethical Approval and Consent to Participate in the manuscript. If informed consent is not required,
           the name of the ethics committee granting the exemption and the reason for the exemption must be listed. If any ethical
           violation is found at any stage of publication, the issue will be investigated seriously based on COPE Guidelines.
