           3. Research and Publication Ethics
           3.1 Research Involving Animals
           Experimental  research  on  animals  should  be  approved  by  an  appropriate  ethics  committee  and  must  comply  with
           institutional, national, or international guidelines. IR encourages authors to comply with the AALAS Guidelines, the
           ARRIVE  Guidelines,  and/or  the  ICLAS  Guidelines,  and  obtain  prior  approval  from  the  relevant  ethics  committee.
           Manuscripts must include a statement indicating that the study has been approved by the relevant ethical committee and the
           whole research process complies with ethical guidelines. If a study is granted an exemption from requiring ethics approval,
           the name of the ethics committee granting the exemption and the reason(s) for the exemption should be detailed. Editors
           will take account of animal welfare issues and reserve the right to reject a manuscript, especially if the research involves
           protocols that are inconsistent with commonly accepted norms of animal research.

           3.2 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.
           3.2.1 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.

           3.2.2 Consent for Publication
           All articles published by OAE are freely available on the Internet. All manuscripts that include individual participants’
           data in any form (i.e., details, images, videos, etc.) will not be published without Consent for Publication obtained from that
           person(s), or for children, their parents or legal guardians. If the person has died, Consent for Publication must be obtained
           from the next of kin. Authors must add a declaration statement of Consent for Publication in the manuscript, specifying
           written informed consent for publication has been obtained.
           3.2.3 Ethical Approval and Informed Consent for Retrospective/Database Studies
           Researchers must confirm they have obtained ethical approval from ethical review boards to perform the study, as well as
           permission from the dataset owner to use the information in databases for the purposes of the research they are performing.
           If permission to use information from a database is not required (e.g., it is publicly available and unrestricted re-use is
           permitted under an open license), a statement explaining this must be included in the manuscript. For studies which ethics
           approval has been waived, authors must state clearly in the manuscript and provide brief details of the waive policy. The
