To analyze ethical aspects of Brazilian articles on human visceral leishmaniasis, published after Resolution CNS 196/1996, and to analyze the policy on Brazilian periodicals on research ethics.
An explanatory study with a bibliographical and documental nature was conducted. Selection of publications on research involving human beings since 1996 was performed in the SciELO Brazil database. Gaps associated with editorial policies on medical periodicals, based on information obtained from the "Instructions to authors" section of each periodical, were analyzed.
While there were no articles on the compliance with ethical aspects in the first four-year period (from 1997 to 2000), 75% fulfilled at least one of the ethical requirements evaluated in the first year (2009) of a subsequent four-year period (from 2009 to 2012). A total of six out of 11 periodicals indicated that the information about ethical aspects should be mentioned in the body of the article. There were three periodicals that required a letter or document, informing about compliance with these aspects and signed by the author(s), to be sent; two that requested a copy of the document used to obtain the free and informed consent; one that clarified the need of a copy to authorize the approval by the Committee on Ethics in Research; and four in which no requirements of ethical aspects were found.
There was an improvement in the description of compliance with ethical aspects found in articles. Standardization of ethical requirements for human research in Brazilian periodicals is suggested. This could promote compliance with the presuppositions of documents regulating human research.
分析巴西人体内脏利什曼病文献中 1996 年后 CNS 196/1996 决议后的伦理方面，并分析巴西期刊研究伦理政策。
采用解释性研究，对 1996 年后涉及人类的研究出版物进行文献和文献研究。在巴西科学电子图书馆（SciELO Brazil）数据库中选择出版物。根据各期刊“作者须知”部分的信息，分析医学期刊编辑政策方面的空白。
在最初的四年（1997 年至 2000 年）中，没有一篇文章涉及遵守伦理方面的内容，但在随后的四年（2009 年至 2012 年）的第一年（2009 年）中，有 75%的文章至少满足了所评估的伦理要求之一。11 种期刊中有 6 种期刊表示应在文章正文中提及伦理方面的信息。有 3 种期刊要求作者签署一封信或文件，说明遵守这些方面的情况；有 2 种期刊要求提供获得自由和知情同意所用的文件副本；有 1 种期刊要求提供授权研究伦理委员会批准的副本；还有 4 种期刊未发现任何伦理方面的要求。
在文章中对遵守伦理方面的描述有所改善。建议巴西期刊对人类研究的伦理要求进行标准化。这可以促进遵守规范人类研究的文件的前提条件。
