Abstract

In recent years, the requirement for ethical clearance of research has increased as a result of high demands for scientific publication in high-quality journals. However, these journals also require an ethical clearance to ensure that all research continues according to ethics principles and procedures. Therefore, knowledge of the review process of the research protocol, as well as an understanding of ethical research standards and guidelines, is very important for ethical research reviewers. This study aims to determine the level of understanding of research ethics reviewers on ethics protocol review process, and ethics research standards. This research is a quantitative descriptive study with two variables, which are the understanding of ethics research standards and the ethics review process. The subjects were university research ethics reviewers who already have a minimum of Basic Research at the Research Ethics Committee in Universitas Negeri Surabaya. The data was collected through survey questionnaires distributed via Google Forms. The result showed that although most of the reviewers demonstrated a good understanding of ethical standards and the ethical clearance process, the knowledge of most reviewers needs to be improved due to a lack of understanding of ethics principles, standards, and ethical clearance decision types. In addition, the EDL reviewers show a better understanding of ethical research standards and the ethical clearance process. This is due to the lack of opportunity for GCP reviewers to review research protocols that are still being provided to EDL reviewers.
