Declarations

:

: Since we analyzed in this study the methodology of medical theses on the validation of psychiatric scales, which were considered as the statistical units for our analysis, we judged that submission to an ethics committee is not necessary, as this work did not involve per se human participants, human data, or human tissue. Furthermore, this study is exclusively based on the analysis of publicly accessible documents. To preserve confidentiality and respect for the authors, the names of doctoral candidates, and supervisors were deliberately anonymized in the presentation of results. Our study aligns with national regulations, notably Government Decree No. 2021–3 of January 6, 2021, relating to open public data.
