Corrigenda: Omission of the Description of Informed Consent on the Identifiable Photos and the Description on Ethical Treatment of Experimental Animals
Article information
Out of 52 original articles or case reports published in Archives of Plastic Surgery from January to September 2017, 5 articles lacked the description of informed consent, in which identifiable photos were present. Also, 3 articles lacked the description of ethical treatment of experimental animals. However, the editorial office had already received the informed consent when all submitted manuscripts were arrived at the office. Also, out of 3 articles dealt with experimental animals, it was confirmed that chickens were purchased at a mart in two cases and permission by the animal ethics committee was provided in one case. Therefore, editorial office apologizes readers not checking those ethical issues and publishes corrigendum as follows:
