Policy and ethics
Care of experimental animals.
It is the responsibility of authors to ensure that their practices
conform with their national animal ethics guidelines. Submitted papers must contain precise details on
the care and use of animals and of experimental procedures, especially interventions such as surgery
and tissue sampling, and methods of euthanasia. Referees are asked to indicate whether there is
any reason to consider that experimental animals were not well treated or care not taken to avoid
distress, and papers may ultimately be rejected on such grounds.
Clinical studies.
If the work involves the use of human subjects, the author should ensure that the
manuscript contains a statement that all procedures were performed in compliance with relevant laws
such as 
The Code of Ethics of the World Medical Association (Declaration of Helsinki) for experiments
involving humans
http://www.wma.net/en/30publications/10policies/b3/index.html
and institutional
guidelines and that the appropriate institutional committee(s) has approved them. Authors should
include a statement in the manuscript that informed consent was obtained for experimentation with
human subjects. The privacy rights of human subjects must always be observed.
The required form can be downloaded at: https://www.evise.com/staticcontent/htmls/info/
IJPDDR_COI.docx. You will be asked to upload the completed and signed form as part of the
submission process. The corresponding author may sign on behalf of all the authors.
Declaration of interest
All authors must disclose any financial and personal relationships with other people or organizations
that could inappropriately influence (bias) their work. Examples of potential competing interests
include employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony, patent
applications/registrations, and grants or other funding. Authors must disclose any interests in two
places: 1. A summary declaration of interest statement in the title page file (if double anonymized) or
the manuscript file (if single anonymized). If there are no interests to declare then please state this:
'Declarations of interest: none'. 2. Detailed disclosures as part of a separate Declaration of Interest
form, which forms part of the journal's official records. It is important for potential interests to be
declared in both places and that the information matches.
