  • Performance of IRBs in China: a survey on IRB employees and researchers’ experiences and perceptions.Xing Liu, Ying Wu, Min Yang, Yang Li, Kaveh Khoshnood, Esther Luo, Lun Li & Xiaomin Wang - 2022 - BMC Medical Ethics 23 (1):1-13.
    Background Performance evaluation is vital for IRB operations. As the number of IRBs and their responsibilities in reviewing and supervising clinical research grow in China, there is a significant need to evaluate their performances. To date, little research has examined IRB performance within China. The aim of this study was to ascertain the perspectives and experiences of IRB employees and researchers to understand the current status of IRBs; compare collected results with those of other countries; and identify shortcomings to improve (...)
