  Abstract:  Avicenna was one of the most important Islamic physicians and philosophers. He wrote over 100 treaties of medicine, some of them containing only a few pages. His major medical work, entitled “The Canon of Medicine”, was finished in 1025, and included five volumes. The beginning of the Volume 2 of the Canon started with a series of general preconditions that the testing new medicines should fulfil, detailed in the chapter entitled “On knowledge of the potency of drugs through experimentation”. These recommendations will be analysed in this article in correlation with current principles of research ethics and methodology.

Keywords: Avicenna, research ethics, research methodology
