There is increasing impetus, interest and opportunity for people working in public health programmes in India to carry out operational research (OR) around relevant programme issues and then publish that in peer-reviewed publications. These published researches are valuable in analysing, documenting and advocating for locally generated evidence to inform policy and practice. Ethics review and approval is an essential step in the process of OR but is often viewed as a barrier rather than a prerequisite of good practice in OR. Journals and peer reviewers are also increasingly requiring approvals from local institutional ethics committees (IECs).
在印度，从事公共卫生项目的人员开展围绕相关项目问题的运筹学（OR）研究并在同行评审出版物上发表的动力、兴趣和机会与日俱增。这些已发表的研究对于分析、记录和倡导本地生成的证据以指导政策和实践具有重要价值。伦理审查和批准是运筹学过程中的一个关键步骤，但它往往被视为一种障碍，而非运筹学良好实践的一个前提条件。期刊和同行评审人员也越来越要求获得当地机构伦理委员会（IEC）的批准。
