Publication Ethics

Research Involving Human Subjects

When submitting research that involves human subjects, human material, human tissues, or human data, authors must declare that their research adheres to the principles set out in the Declaration of Helsinki (1975) (https://www.wma.net/what-we-do/medical-ethics/declaration-of-helsinki/), revised in 2008. As stipulated by Point 23 of the Declaration, approval from an ethics committee must be obtained prior to conducting the research. Authors must include in the Methods section a statement providing the project identification code, date of approval, and the name of the ethics committee or institutional review board.

Data relating to individual participants must be described accurately, though personal information that could identify participants need not be included unless it is directly relevant to the research (e.g., photographs that reveal a specific symptom). The editorial team reserves the right to reject submissions that do not comply with these ethical guidelines.

A typical ethical statement should include:
"All human subjects provided informed consent for inclusion prior to participation in the study. The research followed the Declaration of Helsinki guidelines, and the protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of [Institution Name] (Project identification code)."

Authors must obtain written informed consent for publication from all participants. Consent should grant unlimited permission for publication across all formats (print, electronic, and online), sublicensed or reprinted versions (including translations or derivative works), and other works/products available under open access. The journal reserves the right to request signed consent forms if needed. Authors may refer to a sample form or provide a detailed justification if consent is deemed unnecessary.

Publication Ethics Statement

The Economic Review of the European Union is committed to maintaining a rigorous peer-review process, ensuring strict adherence to ethical standards for scholarly publications. However, issues such as plagiarism, data falsification, image manipulation, and improper authorship credit can arise. The journal follows a zero-tolerance policy for such misconduct.

Authors submitting to the Economic Review of the European Union must adhere to the following ethical guidelines:

• Any potential conflicts of interest must be disclosed within the manuscript.
• Authors must present their research findings accurately and provide an objective discussion of the significance of their results.
• Data and methods used in the research must be described in sufficient detail to allow other researchers to replicate the work.
• Simultaneous submission of the same manuscript to multiple journals is strictly prohibited.
• Republishing content that lacks novelty, such as translations of already published works, is not allowed.
• If authors discover errors or inaccuracies in their work after publication, they are required to promptly inform the editors so that corrective measures can be taken.
• Manuscripts should not contain any previously published material. If figures or images have been published elsewhere, authors must obtain the necessary permissions from the copyright holder.

These guidelines ensure the integrity of the research published in the Economic Review of the European Union and contribute to the advancement of the field.
