Abstract
This Creative Commons paper and the research it reports highlight the importance of research institutions, publishers and funding bodies, ensuring that researchers obtain local ethics approval and abide by the jurisdiction’s standards when conducting research in another country. A big red flag is if the research proposal and research output does not mention local ethics review or ethical standards.
