Resumo
Objective: To review ethical standards contained in guidelines to authors of Brazilian
scientific journals in several medical specialties and see if there is any standardization
available. Methods: This is an exploratory study evaluating Brazilian scientific journals
classified on the Portal of Journals on Health Sciences of the Virtual Health Library in
all medical specialties regarding guidelines to authors submitting manuscripts and concerning ethical standards for research in humans. Data was collected and categorized for
the presence of the following variables: Ethics Committee approval; Helsinki Declaration
and/or Resolution 196/96, informed consent; ethical standards; uniform requirements; patients’ confidentiality and no ethical references. The association among the variables was
also examined. Results: Out of a total of 8,701 journals, 95 were included in the current
study. The variables were investigated, with each one’s frequency being verified. Eighty
per cent were referred for an Ethics Committee approval; 43.15% of Helsinki Declaration;
43.15% of informed consent; 9.47% of ethical standards; 32.63% of uniform requirements
and 15.78% of patients’ confidentiality were referenced. In the whole sampling, 9.47% of
journals do not mention any ethical reference as a guide to authors submitting manuscripts. An association among variables occurred in 61% of the sample. Conclusion: Ethical
aspects of submitting manuscripts were mentioned in over 90% of the guides to authors of
national scientific journals and no standardization at all is available.
