hi everyone
lately a submited my paper to a scientific journal, the editor send me back manuscript and he requeste me this:
** Your submission should be accompanied by a document containing the approved protocol of an accredited Ethics Committee for your research. Details such as the protocol number and the committee must be made clear in the text as it is a crucial requirement for performing the studies.**
is this item frequently requested in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) paper?
how can I provide this type of documents ?
thanks in advance

Hi,
It is not very common in CFD studies that ethics committee approval is requested. It depends on the application though, if you have used CFD in biomedical area or if you have used test animals in your research, this document is almost always necessary. I see that you work at a university, so you should consult the administration for that. If your university has a school of medicine, it is more likely that an accredited ethics committee exists. Otherwise try to find another university nearby that can provide the document.
I hope this helps.
Best.
Thanks for the answer,
in did Dr. Tolgay Kara i'm working in medical area by simulating blood flow using CFD, however, my paper has been reviewed several times, no request of this kind has been asked.
in most of the paper I read, no study protocol approval reference was cited. even in the most rigorous research cites references based on research in the field of validation of results through boundary conditions or comparison with non-invasive (in-vivo) methods.
thanks egain

It's odd that such a document is demanded for a simulation study, unless you do comparison with clinical data of patients. You're welcome, good luck.
