Could you elaborate on Point 1 the independent Human Ethics committees? And elaborate on Point 2 please? From our application experience to IRB it seems there’s no difference if donor is me (student) or the PI.– WDCCommented Feb 10, 2019 at 14:32

1Most of your answer is relevant for future actions and does not address correcting a past action.– Solar MikeCommented Feb 10, 2019 at 14:34

4It would almost certainly be against the rules of the OP's institution to seek permission from an independent IRB for this research as a way to avoid dealing with the institution's IRB.– Brian BorchersCommented Feb 10, 2019 at 17:26

2@BrianBorchers OP had mentioned that the paper is on the Algorithm and Software and that the experiment was trivial, using blood of the OP only. In most Universities, such experiments (say, at a very initial, preliminary or small pilot stages) are exempted from getting Ethics clearances. The parameters for applying for ethics is involvement of human or animal subjects. If the quantity of biological tissue/fluid needed is very small, for e.g. a prick or drop of blood from the investigator itself, it qualifies in most places for waivers. This can be confirmed by any ethics committee.– Jagan MohanCommented Feb 10, 2019 at 18:41

3@Jagan Mohan. At my US based institution, the IRB (I'm a member of the IRB) would certainly require approval before the first blood sample was taken.– Brian BorchersCommented Feb 10, 2019 at 19:40

create code fences with backticks ` or tildes ~
```
like so

add language identifier to highlight code
```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
``` - put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
- _italic_ or **bold**

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Use tags that describe what your question is about, not what it merely relates to. For example almost every question on this site is eventually related to research, but only questions about performing research should be tagged research.
Use tags describing circumstances only if those circumstances are essential to your question. For example, if you have a question about citations that came up during writing a thesis but might as well have arisen during writing a paper, do not tag it with thesis.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. graduate-admissions), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
