这篇文章更新了进行高质量的动物和人类生物节律研究的伦理标准和方法，这对新的生命节律研究人员应该特别有用。《国际时间生物学》的编辑遵守并赞同出版物道德委员会(COPE)的《行为守则》和《最佳做法指南》，该准则鼓励定期在期刊上传播这类最新情况。该杂志接受代表原创作品的论文，这些论文的任何部分以前都没有提交给其他地方发表，除了作为简短的摘要和深入的评论。发表在《国际时间生物学》上的大多数研究论文都涉及动物和人类的研究。该杂志的编辑和读者期望提交的手稿的作者使用伦理方法/程序和公正、准确和诚实的研究结果为生物节律和相关现象的研究做出重要贡献。科学论文的作者必须申报所有潜在的利益冲突。该杂志及其编辑赞同研究人员遵守国家研究理事会实验动物研究所关于对实验室和其他动物进行伦理研究的《保护和使用实验动物指南》，以及关于对人类进行伦理研究的世界医学协会《赫尔辛基宣言》的原则。因此，国际时间生物学对手稿的同行审查包括对方案和方法是否符合伦理标准的判断。作者应该掌握生物节律研究的基本方法和程序，并对数据进行适当的统计评估，包括时间序列数据分析的适当应用，本文简要回顾了这一点。期刊编辑一直致力于对《国际时间生物学》上报道的原创和评论论文的研究达到高标准，并在此列出了目前的期望实例。(作者通信：prf@unife.it)。
This article updates the ethical standards and methods for the conduct of high-quality animal and human biological rhythm research, which should be especially useful for new investigators of the rhythms of life. The editors of Chronobiology International adhere to and endorse the Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines of the Committee On Publication Ethics (COPE), which encourages communication of such updates at regular intervals in the journal. The journal accepts papers representing original work, no part of which was previously submitted for publication elsewhere, except as brief abstracts, as well as in-depth reviews. The majority of research papers published in Chronobiology International entails animal and human investigations. The editors and readers of the journal expect authors of submitted manuscripts to have made an important contribution to the research of biological rhythms and related phenomena using ethical methods/procedures and unbiased, accurate, and honest reporting of findings. Authors of scientific papers are required to declare all potential conflicts of interest. The journal and its editors endorse compliance of investigators to the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals of the Institute for Laboratory Animal Research of the National Research Council, relating to the conduct of ethical research on laboratory and other animals, and the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki of the World Medical Association, relating to the conduct of ethical research on human beings. The peer review of manuscripts by Chronobiology International thus includes judgment as to whether or not the protocols and methods conform to ethical standards. Authors are expected to show mastery of the basic methods and procedures of biological rhythm research and proper statistical assessment of data, including the appropriate application of time series data analyses, as briefly reviewed in this article. The journal editors strive to consistently achieve high standards for the research of original and review papers reported in Chronobiology International, and current examples of expectations are presented herein.
