Before acceptance in Maturitas, reports of studies involving human beings are checked
to ensure that they had the necessary ethical or institutional review board approval
and that consent was appropriately obtained. The review board or committee must be
named in the manuscript. Written rather than verbal consent is preferred. The consent
process should be described in the manuscript including, for example, reasons why
written consent was not sought.
