§ 01
Ethics & Research Governance
MMSx Authority adheres to international research and clinical ethics standards across all registered investigations, framework development activities, and published outputs. Participant safety and scientific credibility are non-negotiable institutional values.
All research outputs are transparently labelled by peer-review status. No premature clinical claims are made. Pre-registered Statistical Analysis Plans (SAPs) are locked before data collection begins. Independent statisticians verify all primary analyses.

Five Governance Principles
- Scientific Integrity: Conservative inference, biomechanical grounding, no premature clinical claims
- Participant Protection: Privacy, safety, and informed consent at all scales of investigation
- Transparency of Status: All outputs labelled — Active · Preliminary · Preprint · Peer-Reviewed
- Data Governance: Anonymised, never sold, institutional access only — open datasets via DOI
- Responsible Interpretation: Supports professional decision-making; does not replace licensed clinical judgment

- Open public datasets independently verifiable (OSF DOI: 10.17605/OSF.IO/F87N2)
- Multi-site data collected by independently employed assessors
- Independent statistician verifies all primary analyses
- Parallel submission to external independent journals (JOSPT/BJSM pipeline)
- Conflict of interest disclosed on every publication
