About the journal
The Hastings Center Report explores the ethical, legal, and social issues in medicine, health care, public health, and the life sciences. Six issues are published each year, containing an assortment of essays, columns on legal and policy developments, case studies of issues in clinical care and institutional administration, caregivers’ stories, peer-reviewed scholarly articles, and book reviews. Authors come from an assortment of professions and academic disciplines and bring a range of perspectives and political opinions.
Instructions to Authors
The Hastings Center Report welcomes manuscript submissions that address ethical concerns in medicine and the life sciences. Prospective contributions should be clearly written and of interest to a broad readership. They may take many forms: articles that explore philosophical and ethical issues in medicine, health care, technology, medical research, the use of human subjects in research, and the environment; reports or reviews of empirical studies that implicate relevant philosophical and ethical questions; short, provocative essays; case studies (which may be accompanied by commentary on the case); personal narratives about receiving or providing health care; and brief commentary on relevant events in the news.
Most articles and empirical reviews accepted for publication are no longer than 6,000 words, and short essays no longer than 2,400 words. Shorter work is encouraged. Tables and figures should be kept to a minimum. References should be restricted to the most pertinent, up-to-date sources; heavily referenced manuscripts are not preferred. For case studies, descriptions should be about 400 words, and commentaries should be no more than 650 words. Brief commentaries should be no longer than 800 words. Book reviews are usually commissioned, but unsolicited manuscripts will be considered and should be no longer than 1,600 words.
In matters of grammar and usage, the Report refers to the Chicago Manual of Style (although for purposes of review, manuscripts need not conform to this). Authors' instructions for formatting endnotes are available below.
How to Submit
Manuscripts should be submitted by email. Please submit electronic copies in either *.rtf (rich text format) or *.doc (MS Word Document format) to editorial@thehastingscenter.org. Please specify that the manuscript is being submitted to the Hastings Center Report. Names and contact information for the author(s) should appear only on an accompanying cover sheet. Contact information should include mailing address, telephone and fax numbers, and email address. In addition to this cover sheet, all manuscripts submitted for consideration should also include: a signed Conflict of Interest form for each author (available below); an abstract of no more than 150 words; and four to six key words for indexing purposes.
Review Procedure
Manuscripts will be acknowledged upon receipt. Feature articles, all reports and reviews of empirical work, and many short essays recommended for consideration by the editor will also be reviewed by an independent reader. Manuscripts recommended after this second review will be presented to the Report's Editorial Board for final disposition. Authors will be notified of a decision by email.
Conflict of Interest
The Hastings Center Report expects all prospective contributors and reviewers to declare any potential conflicts of interest. Conflicts of interest include any personal or professional affiliations, any financial interests, and/or any past, present, or anticipated activities that may compromise the quality or objectivity of a manuscript or review. The rough test that we ask authors and reviewers to employ is: Is there anything would likely cause readers to second-guess your objectivity if it were to emerge after publication?
Please include a completed Conflict of Interest Form (PDF) for each author when a manuscript is submitted for consideration to the Report.
Authors' Instructions for Formatting References
The Report prefers to keep references to a minimum. Our style avoids discursive notes wherever possible, and we ask that citations be restricted to the most important or useful sources.
For questions on any formatting issue not specified below, please see the guidelines set out in the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition.
