Abstract

The ethics of reviewing scientific works is a crucial aspect of research ethics in the field of health, where the outcomes significantly impact prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and management, highlighting the importance of the quality of research results. Accordingly, this study aimed to develop a charter for the ethical peer review of scientific works in the field of health. The significance of this commentary lies in that researchers’ and reviewers’ adherence to ethical principles can contribute to enhancing the quality of scientific works aimed at prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and management in the field of health. This charter can serve as a framework for scientific work review systems, assisting research managers in identifying the ethical components essential for reviewing scientific works in the field of health to develop effective research policies and plans. Moreover, it would help reviewers and practitioners at journals, research centers, and institutes, facilitating accurate, fair, and unbiased reviews of scientific works in the field of health. © 2024 Tehran University of Medical Sciences.
