Q: Can I use the consent documents that were actually used instead of the template specified by the journal?
I am going to submit my manuscript to the Asian Journal of Sports Medicine. There is a section of “informed consent” in the online submission system and an example template is provided. My measurement work was done several years ago, and the example template is in English which is difficult for non-English speaker. Would it be enough if I prepare translation of the instruction sheet and the consent sheet that were actually used during the measurement work?
