Consensus statement on mandatory registration of clinical trials.

摘要

The member journals of the Surgery Journal Editors Group (SJEG), in keeping with their commitment to high ethical standards and integrity in surgical publishing and surgical science, agree to adopt the position of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) requiring mandatory registration of all clinical trials, whether publicly funded or commercially sponsored, as a condition of consideration for publication. Additionally, the SJEG will require registration of Phase I and Phase II trials.
