Ethical Clearance (ethical clearance) is an instrument to measure the ethical acceptability of a series of research processes and the appropriateness of the content of scientific publications. The review of ethical clearance in scientific research is a guide for researchers in planning the implementation of scientific research. Ethical clearance in research and publication aims to help researchers to
avoid mistakes and violations of the researcher's code of ethics, either
in the stages of research design, implementation, and reporting as well as in the dissemination of research results (scientific publications) by conducting self assessment.
