Global Bioethics

Scope

Global Bioethics provides a broad open access international forum for research on the ethical aspects of global health research, practice and policy. It brings together scholarship from around the world covering a variety of socio-economic and cultural contexts and ethical positions in order to reflect and promote new critically-engaged ways of thinking about contemporary topics in global bioethics. The journal aims to be close to practice and to engage with ethical issues faced by real world actors in real world settings. One implication of this is that it places particular emphasis on research bringing together empirical research with rigorous ethical analysis and which pays attention to political, and social structures alongside macro-level analysis of global bioethical issues. Theoretical and methodological papers, as well as comments and responses to papers are welcomed in Global Bioethics. All manuscripts should pass through full peer review and the Editors’ decision is final. In addition to research papers, Global Bioethics aims to reflect live issues through its “field notes” section which comprises shorter observations and initial findings from ‘the field’ i.e. from day-to-day practice.
