- Research Involving Human Participants
Research involving human participants must comply with the ethical standards of institutional and national research committees, the International Journal of Social Science and Humanities Research-MIYR’s ethical guidelines, and, where applicable, the Helsinki Declaration.
- Authors must provide documented evidence of approval from a recognized ethics committee or institutional review board when required.
- Authors must ensure informed consent is obtained from all participants, maintaining their privacy and confidentiality.
Research involving vulnerable populations, minors, or sensitive personal data must include additional safeguards and obtain appropriate approvals to ensure the protection of participants’ rights, privacy, and welfare.
- Authors bear responsibility for conducting research ethically and reporting any potential ethical concerns transparently.
- Any suspected ethical violations will be investigated in accordance with the journal’s ethical policies and COPE guidelines.
2. Clinical Trials or Experimental Studies (When Applicable)
For research published in the International Journal of Social Science and Humanities Research-MIYR that involves experimental interventions, controlled trials, field experiments, or any study where participants are assigned to different conditions or treatments, prior registration in a publicly accessible research registry is strongly recommended before data collection begins.
Examples of recognized registries include, but are not limited to:
- ClinicalTrials.gov — Managed by the U.S. National Institutes of Health; the world’s largest open-access database for clinical trials and human subject research.
(АНУ-ын Эрүүл мэндийн үндэсний хүрээлэнгийн удирддаг, дэлхийн хамгийн том клиник туршилт, хүний оролцоотой судалгааны нээлттэй бүртгэлийн мэдээллийн сан.) - ISRCTN Registry — Internationally recognized registry assigning unique trial numbers for a wide range of research, including medical, psychological, and social science interventions.
(Эмнэлгийн, сэтгэл зүйн болон нийгмийн шинжлэх ухааны туршилтуудыг багтаасан, олон улсад хүлээн зөвшөөрөгдсөн туршилтын бүртгэл.) - EU Clinical Trials Register — Official database for clinical trials authorized in the European Union and European Economic Area.
(Европын Холбоо болон Европын Эдийн засгийн бүсэд зөвшөөрөгдсөн клиник туршилтын албан ёсны бүртгэл.) - Equivalent national or institutional registries where appropriate.
The registration record should include study objectives, methodology, participant eligibility criteria, planned interventions, outcome measures, and anticipated start and completion dates.
If applicable, the registry name and registration number (or unique identifier) must be clearly stated in the manuscript, preferably in the Methods section, to promote transparency, reproducibility, and adherence to international research standards (e.g., CONSORT guidelines).
This requirement applies in conjunction with the Research Involving Human Participants policy and is intended to ensure ethical accountability, prevent selective reporting, and support open science practices.
