Explanation:

Whenever a sociological, scientific, political, or any other field study is conducted, the authors of this study submit it for publication so that the results can be disseminated and the study can be performed by other interested persons. Prior to publication, the study will be reviewed by the institutional review committee, also known as IRB, which will ensure that the study meets the ethical and moral standards of a research. If the IRB considers the study to be appropriate against these standards, the study is released for publication. Once released, the study must undergo a continuous review within 12 months from the date of approval.
