论文投稿时，在格式审查（Quality Check）阶段对伦理要求的很严，有时候会提及下面的反馈意见：

1. Kindly include a statement to confirm that all methods were carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations.

2. Please provide the statement on guidelines followed under the ‘Ethical approval and consent to participate’ sub-section of 'Declaration' section of the main manuscript as well

很多人不明白all methods were carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations这句话的意思.

涉及到人体的研究，除了机构伦理委员会通过外，所有的操作还须遵循 赫尔辛基宣言（https://www.britannica.com/topic/Declaration-of-Helsinki）。

所以在伦理的地方写上如下的论述即可：

The study was reviewed and approved by the institutional ethics board of xxx, and follows the ethical principles of the Declaration of Helsinki 1964.

希望对大家投稿有所帮助。
