摘要：

【目的】 对中外Top生物医学期刊稿约及投稿系统中论文伦理审核现状进行调查分析,为进一步规范我国生物医学期刊伦理审查提供参考。【方法】 选取25种国内外Top医学、护理期刊,对样本期刊网站内所刊登稿约及投稿系统中对所投论文伦理报道要求进行调查分析。【结果】 10种国外医学、护理期刊及5种被SCI收录的国内医学期刊均对作者投稿需要符合的伦理审查及规范化报道标准作出相关要求,仅2种中文出版的国内医学、护理期刊有提及相关伦理准则。除1种期刊外,本研究所有纳入的国外医学、护理期刊及国内医学期刊均在稿约中对临床研究伦理报道提出要求,然而,仅1种国内护理期刊在稿约内有提及伦理报道。同时,本研究的大部分国外医学、护理期刊及被SCI收录的国内医学期刊均在投稿系统中再次对论文伦理要求进行申明,但10种国内中文出版的医学、护理期刊均未在投稿系统中提及伦理要求。【结论】 相较于国际医学期刊,我国中文出版的生物医学期刊对伦理审核重视程度不足,且有待于加强对目前国际、国内伦理审查及规范化报道标准的使用与宣传,以进一步促进我国伦理审核规范化管理。
