Alana is a medical student researcher in the laboratory of Prof. Hayes. Prof. Hayes has received a manuscript for review for possible publication in a biomedical journal and asks Alana to review the manuscript. Alana knows that the review process is intended to be confidential, so she asks if the journal editor has been notified of this request. Prof. Hayes says that this is not necessary. Alana asks for your advice.


Question:

Is Professor Hayes' answer (that notification is not necessary) ethical? Why or why not?
