Research Ethics
Research published in IJES : Indonesian Journal of Environmental Sustainability must be conducted ethically. Studies involving human participants or animals must report ethical approval (ethical clearance) or, where justified, the authors' statement of compliance with research ethics.
When ethical approval is required
| Type of research | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Research with human participants that involves more than low risk (for example, health measurements, biological samples, or sensitive personal information) | Ethical approval from a relevant research ethics committee: name of the committee, approval number, and year. |
| Research with animals, including fieldwork that captures, handles, or samples wildlife | Ethical approval from a relevant animal ethics committee, and any required research or collection permits. |
| Research with low or negligible risk (for example, anonymous questionnaires or interviews on non-sensitive topics) | The authors' statement of compliance with research ethics, which the editor and reviewers assess. |
| Research with no human or animal subjects | "Not applicable." |
Informed consent

Fieldwork and permits
Fieldwork in protected areas, including the Leuser Ecosystem, or involving protected species must be conducted with the permits required by Indonesian law. Authors state the permit number in the Methods section or the Ethical Approval statement.
