The American Journal of Bioethics (AJOB), founded in 1993, is a peer reviewed journal published by Taylor and Francis. [1] This journal publishes 12 issues each year, and is available both in print and on the internet. Its mission is described as to "provide the clinical, legal, academic, scientific, religious and broad community-at-large with a rapid but comprehensive debate of issues in bioethics." It has a "further goal...to inspire and inform research and writing across disciplines, through target articles, peer commentary, book reviews, qualitative research, literary criticism, photography and graphic arts, and comments on developments in law and medical science." [2] In 2005 it became the most widely read bioethics journal. [3]
In 2007, the Chief Editor is Glenn McGee of the Alden March Bioethics Institute, and Albany Medical Center. The Associate Editors are David Magnus of Stanford University and Paul Root Wolpe of the University of Pennsylvania.
Submissions to the American Journal of Bioethics are screened by the editors and blind peer reviewed by at least two referees before being accepted for publication.[4]
Subscribers also regularly receive information about university bioethics programmes, job vacancies, news reports, bioethics conferences and other related material.
