The reporting of ethical review and ethical considerations in articles published in medical education journals: A literature review.

ERB assessments and HPE-R approval was reported in most research articles. This finding is an improvement compared with previous evaluations of ethical research practice in HPE-R. All studies, particularly those that are exempted or not fully reviewed, should describe their key ethical considerations clearly to enable the HPE community to assess the ethical soundness. Our review revealed that the reporting of ethical considerations was limited and deserves attention from the research community.
