Peruvian Journal of Health Care and Global Health is committed to scientific quality, academic integrity, and adherence to ethical best practices by all stakeholders involved in the editorial process.

This statement is based on the Good Publication Practice Guidelines developed by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and establishes the ethical principles applicable to authors, reviewers, and editors. The journal also adheres to the principles, best practices, and obligations set forth in the National Code of Scientific Integrity.

Research involving human participants, including the use of human biological material or identifiable information, must comply with the ethical principles of the Declaration of Helsinki of the World Medical Association, the guidelines of the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS), and the UNESCO Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights.

Research involving animals must comply with the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals published by the National Research Council of the National Academies, as well as the ARRIVE guidelines (Animal Research: Reporting of In Vivo Experiments).

5.1. Research ethics committee approval

Manuscripts reporting research involving humans, human biological material, identifiable data, or animal studies must explicitly state that the study was approved by a recognized Research Ethics Committee, indicating the institution name, approval number, and date.

Peruvian Journal of Health Care and Global Health may request the ethics committee report. Studies based on freely accessible secondary sources are exempt from ethics committee approval.

When research is exempt from ethical review, authors must explicitly state the reason for exemption in accordance with applicable regulations and, when applicable, the evaluation of a competent committee.

5.2. Informed consent

For studies involving human participants, authors must declare that informed consent was obtained in accordance with international ethical principles and applicable legislation.

For minors or individuals with limited decision-making capacity, consent must have been provided by legal guardians, with assent obtained from the participant when appropriate.

When using secondary databases, medical records, or other information sources, the procedure to ensure confidentiality and data anonymization must be clearly stated.

5.3. Conflicts of interest

All authors must declare any real, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest—financial, institutional, professional, academic, or personal—that could influence the interpretation of results.

If no conflicts exist, authors must include the explicit statement: “The authors declare no conflicts of interest.”

5.4. Funding

Authors must disclose all sources of study funding, including public or private institutions, funding agencies, non-governmental organizations, or other entities.

If the research did not receive specific funding, the statement should read: “The research did not receive specific funding.”

5.5. Data availability

Authors must indicate whether the data supporting the study results are available, and if so, specify the repository, link, or access conditions.

In alignment with open science principles, Peruvian Journal of Health Care and Global Health recommends using Zenodo for its ease of use and DOI assignment; however, authors may use any repository that guarantees a persistent identifier (DOI) for citation purposes.

If data cannot be shared for ethical, legal, or confidentiality reasons, this must be explicitly stated.

5.6. Registration of systematic reviews

The journal recommends that systematic reviews and meta-analyses be pre-registered in a recognized public registry, such as the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) or equivalent.

When applicable, the registration number must be included in the manuscript to promote transparency, reduce risk of bias, and strengthen methodological integrity.

5.7. Clinical trial registration

Peruvian Journal of Health Care and Global Health requires that clinical trials be registered in a publicly accessible registry prior to participant recruitment.

For studies conducted in Peru, the Peruvian Clinical Trials Registry (REPEC) of the National Institute of Health is accepted. For trials conducted in other countries, official national registries or registries recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO), including ClinicalTrials.gov administered by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), are considered valid.

5.8. Scientific integrity and misconduct

The journal strictly prohibits any form of scientific misconduct, including but not limited to: plagiarism, self-plagiarism, duplicate publication, data manipulation, fabrication, or falsification of results.

5.9. Authorship and author contributions

Authorship must comply with the criteria of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE). All authors must have made substantial contributions to the study and assume public responsibility for its content.

Including authors without a genuine scientific contribution—due to friendship, hierarchy, institutional recognition, or other non-scientific reasons—constitutes an ethical violation (honorary, guest, or ghost authorship) and may lead to editorial rejection or observation.

All manuscripts must include a detailed statement of each author’s contributions according to ICMJE criteria. This information forms part of the Authorship Declaration and will be published alongside the article.

All authors are obligated to facilitate corrections for errors. In cases of ethical misconduct detected in submitted or published work, authors will be notified to provide a defense. An ad hoc committee will be established to investigate and evaluate the case. Depending on severity, actions may include article correction or retraction, with notification to the authors’ affiliated institutions.

6. EDITORIAL PROCESS AND PEER REVIEW

6.1. Initial editorial evaluation

All manuscripts submitted to Peruvian Journal of Health Care and Global Health undergo an initial editorial assessment by the Editor-in-Chief and/or Associate Editors to verify: relevance to the journal’s scope, compliance with the author guidelines, basic methodological adequacy, and adherence to ethical principles and scientific integrity.

7. USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN SCIENTIFIC WRITING

Peruvian Journal of Health Care and Global Health acknowledges the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in research and scientific writing. However, it reaffirms that ethical, scientific, and legal responsibility for the content of manuscripts rests solely with human authors.

7.1. General principles

The use of generative AI tools may be permitted only as support for writing, linguistic editing, grammar correction, translation, or style enhancement, provided that such use is transparent, responsible, and ethically justified.

AI tools must not be listed as authors, nor may they assume intellectual, methodological, or ethical responsibility for the manuscript content.

7.2. Mandatory declaration of AI use

Authors must explicitly declare the use of AI tools in manuscript preparation, specifying:

  • The name of the tool used.
  • The purpose of its use (linguistic editing, translation, etc.).
  • The sections of the manuscript in which it was employed.

This declaration must be included in the Authorship Declaration.

7.3. Prohibited uses of AI

The use of AI tools is not permitted to:

  • Generate data, results, or conclusions.
  • Replace the authors’ critical analysis, scientific interpretation, or academic judgment.
