The main purpose here would be to see

Daniel-Mietchen commented 6 years ago

A simple query for "approval number" currently yields 11404 hits: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/?term=%22approval+number%22

Daniel-Mietchen commented 5 years ago

Just to clarify that conflict of interest statements are within scope here as well.

Daniel-Mietchen commented 3 years ago

I just reran that "approval number" query from Oct 12, 2017, and it now yields 37963 results, i.e. an about 3.5-fold increase in about 3.5 years.

In the meantime, I have begun to collaborate with @petermr, and we are trying to use his ContentMine pipeline (which is currently being ported to Python) to extract ethics statements from PMC. On the way, we have built a first — still very rough — dictionary (i.e. a set of words highly indicative of the topic of ethics statements), and we are trying to also get a list of ethics committees mentioned in PMC-indexed papers.

Some more notes on this by @ShweataNHegde sit at https://github.com/petermr/dictionary/wiki/Ethics-Statement-Project .

Daniel-Mietchen commented 3 years ago

A search for "approval number" now gives 38437 results, i.e. about 500 more than just two weeks ago.

Daniel-Mietchen commented 3 years ago

There are ambiguities at multiple levels.

For instance, this article states that 

This study was approved by the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine IRB, Approval Number: IRB00151734.

The problem here is that Johns Hopkins School of Medicine runs multiple IRBs, and there does not seem to be a straightforward mechanisms to resolve the approval number to get more metadata about the process.

There is a Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) Database for Registered IORGs & IRBs, Approved FWAs, and Documents Received in Last 60 Days that has identifiers for IRBs, but these do not resolve either.

I have started to test the phrase extraction tool NLTK-RAKE. https://towardsdatascience.com/extracting-keyphrases-from-text-rake-and-gensim-in-python-eefd0fad582f As with all language tools it will take a day or two to see how useful it is.

Ayush (openVirus volunteers) and I wrote a piece of code that can extract common phrases from a text file with manually scraped Ethics Statements.

Here is a list of ethics-related entities Shweata has mined from articles on stem cells.

Daniel-Mietchen commented 3 years ago

Some more observations by Shweata and Peter sit here.

We now have a dedicated organization, repo and wiki:

The paper How does nursing research differ internationally? A bibliometric analysis of six countries. has a Table 1 that looks at certain features of previous studies, including

Extracted specific properties (e.g., contains ethics statements)

The project with Shweata and Peter (and Ayush) has since led to a publication:

Hegde SN, Garg A, Murray-Rust P, Mietchen D (2022) Mining the literature for ethics statements: A step towards standardizing research ethics. Research Ideas and Outcomes 8: e94685. https://doi.org/10.3897/rio.8.e94685 .

It outlines a workflow for mining ethics statements and discusses motivations, applications and complications.
