# Ethics, Registration & Disclosures (jama-ethics-registration) ## When to trigger - A clinical trial's registration status or timing is uncertain - IRB/ethics approval or informed-consent statements are missing from Methods - Author roles, contributorship, or COI disclosures are incomplete - A data-sharing statement is required and not yet drafted ## Prospective trial registration (ICMJE policy) - Clinical trials must be **prospectively registered — before the first participant is enrolled** — in ClinicalTrials.gov or another ICMJE-accepted registry (e.g., a WHO ICTRP primary registry). - A trial registered **after enrollment began** is retrospectively registered; ICMJE journals including JAMA treat this as non-compliant, and it generally cannot be remedied at submission.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jama-ethics-registration --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
