However, a high rating international journals require evidence of ethical clearance which is a written statement given by the Research Ethics Commission. This research aims to determine the awareness of higher education institution or university lecturers on the roles of Research Ethics Commission and research ethics review process. This research is a quantitative descriptive study with two research variables, i.e., the understanding of ethical clearance, the role of Research Ethics Commission, and the process of ethical clearance. The subject was university lecturers from social science and humanities and science and engineering fields. Data collection was carried out through survey questionnaires via google form using a modified 4 Likert scale. The result showed that the awareness of most lecturers from both fields towards the role of Research Ethics Commission in research is quite high. All lecturers exhibited a quite high understanding about the role of ethical clearance, as well as the process related to the research protocol submission to obtain ethical clearance. Despite the lecturers from social science and humanities fields showed a better understanding in term of the awareness and the role of Research Ethics Commission, the lecturers from science and engineering demonstrated a better knowledge on the ethical clearance submission process due the characteristics of their fields.
