Publication of "protocol study" articles, a new approach in the Journal of Education and Ethics

The publication of the study protocol can lead to an increase in the number of similar articles in different places and times, which itself provides the basis for conducting strong review studies and creating the necessary documentation for evidence-based nursing. On the other hand, it seeks the uniformity of methods and tools for measuring variables, which will facilitate decision-making regarding the quality of study results. Because one of the most important defects of systematic review studies is the non-uniformity of measurement methods and tools. Also, the publication of such articles strengthens the scientific integrity and eliminates the shortcomings of the studies. On the other hand, it provides a good example for young and less experienced researchers and is considered as a good training class in the field of teaching research methods to graduate students.
