About the journal
Aims and Scope
As medical technology continues to develop, the subject of bioethics has an ever increasing practical relevance for all those working in philosophy, medicine, law, sociology, public policy, education and related fields.
Bioethics provides a forum for well-argued articles on the ethical questions raised by current issues such as: international collaborative clinical research in developing countries; public health; infectious disease; AIDS; managed care; genomics and stem cell research. These questions are considered in relation to concrete ethical, legal and policy problems, or in terms of the fundamental concepts, principles and theories used in discussions of such problems.
Bioethics also features regular Background Briefings on important current debates in the field. These feature articles provide excellent material for bioethics scholars, teachers and students alike.

Instructions to Authors
Author Guidelines
In order to ensure that manuscripts are reviewed as quickly as possible, authors are requested to observe the following requirements:
-
Manuscripts should be no more than 6,000 words in length. (Longer manuscripts should be accompanied by a separate motivation, and may or may not be considered.)
-
Please ensure that the manuscript is ANONYMOUS by putting your name, contact details (including email address), and any self-identifying references in a separate file.
-
The abstract should not exceed 250 words.
-
The biographical material should not exceed 3-4 lines.
It is intended that decisions on publication will be made within three months of receipt of a submitted manuscript.
Manuscript submission
Manuscripts should be submitted to the following website:
http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/biot
Full submission instructions can be found on this website. If you do not have access to the internet, please contact the Bioethics office to discuss alternative means of submission.
Please note that revisions to manuscripts that were not initially submitted to the website, should be sent as an e-mail attachment to the Bioethics e-mail address.
A cover letter should be submitted with your manuscript and must include a statement that the data have not been published, and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. It will be presumed that all listed authors of a manuscript have agreed to the listing and have seen and approved the manuscript.
NEW: Optimize your article for search engine rankings
Many readers will use search engines when looking for journal articles, but readers will often not look past the first page of results. This is why at Bioethics we feel that it is important to help our authors to maximize their search engine rankings. There are some simple things that you can do to improve your article's ranking, and guidelines on these can be found at www.blackwellpublishing.com/optimize. Please review your title/abstract in the light of these and make any necessary changes as part of your final preparations.
Exclusive Licence Form
Authors will be required to sign an Exclusive Licence Form (ELF) for all papers accepted for publication. Signature of the ELF is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the publisher for production unless a signed form has been received. Please note that signature of the Exclusive Licence Form does not affect ownership of copyright in the material. (Government employees need to complete the Author Warranty sections, although copyright in such cases does not need to be assigned). After submission authors will retain the right to publish their paper in various media/circumstances (please see the form for further details). To assist authors an appropriate form will be supplied by the editorial office. Alternatively, authors may like to download a copy of the form here.
NEW: Online production tracking is now available for your article through Blackwell's Author Services
Author Services enables authors to track their article - once it has been accepted - through the production process to publication online and in print. Authors can check the status of their articles online and choose to receive automated e-mails at key stages of production. The author will receive an e-mail with a unique link that enables them to register and have their article automatically added to the system. Please ensure that a complete e-mail address is provided when submitting the manuscript. Visit www.blackwellpublishing.com/bauthor for more details on online production tracking and for a wealth of resources including FAQs and tips on article preparation, submission and more.
OnlineEarly
Bioethics is covered by Blackwell Publishing's OnlineEarly service. OnlineEarly articles are complete full-text articles published online in advance of their publication in a printed issue. Articles are therefore available as soon as they are ready, rather than having to wait for the next scheduled print issue. OnlineEarly articles are complete and final. They have been fully reviewed, revised and edited for publication, and the authors' final corrections have been incorporated. Because they are in final form, no changes can be made after online publication. The nature of OnlineEarly articles means that they do not yet have volume, issue or page numbers, so OnlineEarly articles cannot be cited in the traditional way. They are therefore given a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which allows the article to be cited and tracked before it is allocated to an issue. After print publication, the DOI remains valid and can continue to be used to cite and access the article.
NEW: Online Open
OnlineOpen is a pay-to-publish service from Wiley-Blackwell that offers authors whose papers are accepted for publication the opportunity to pay up-front for their manuscript to become open access (i.e. free for all to view and download) via the Wiley InterScience website. Each OnlineOpen article will be subject to a one-off fee of $3000 to be met by or on behalf of the Author in advance of publication. Upon online publication, the article (both full-text and PDF versions) will be available to all for viewing and download free of charge. The print version of the article will also be branded as OnlineOpen and will draw attention to the fact that the paper can be downloaded for free via the Wiley InterScience service.
Any authors wishing to send their paper OnlineOpen will be required to complete the combined payment and copyright licence form available from our website at: http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/pdf/BIOT_OOF.pdf
(Please note this form is for use with OnlineOpen material ONLY.)
Once complete this form should be sent to the Editorial Office along with the rest of the manuscript materials at the time of acceptance or as soon as possible after that (preferably within 24 hours to avoid any delays in processing). Prior to acceptance there is no requirement to inform an Editorial Office that you intend to publish your paper OnlineOpen if you do not wish to.
The copyright statement for OnlineOpen authors will read:
?[date] The Author(s)
Journal compilation ?[date] [Blackwell Publishing Ltd]
Pre-submission English-language editing
Authors for whom English is a second language may choose to have their manuscript professionally edited before submission to improve the English. A list of independent suppliers of editing services can be found at www.blackwellpublishing.com/bauthor/english_language.asp. All services are paid for and arranged by the author, and use of one of these services does not guarantee acceptance or preference for publication.

A STYLE GUIDE FOR AUTHORS
Please ensure that the manuscript is ANONYMOUS by removing any link to the author(s). Remove reference material in any footnote that references the author(s) of the piece for review and replace information with 'AUTHOR'
Contact/biographical material should be attached separately - biography should not exceed 4 lines.
An abstract should be attached - not exceeding 250 words. A total word count should also be included.
Everything should be double-spaced - this includes quotations and footnotes.
There should be margins of 1.5" (4 cm) at the left and right of the page.
To minimise publication time of your manuscript it is important that all electronic artwork is supplied to the editorial office in the correct format and resolution. We recommend that you consult the Illustration guidelines at http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/bauthor/digill.asp if you need advice on any aspect of preparing your artwork.
REFERENCING
Footnotes should be consecutively numbered and collected at the end of each page. The easiest way to do this is to use the footnote function in Word. Do not include an alphabetical list of references. Referencing in footnotes should follow this style:
Books:
Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs. 1998. Code of Medical Ethics: Current Opinions with Annotations. Chicago, IL: American Medical Association: 3-7.
Edited Books:
V. Held, ed. 1995. Justice and Care: Essential Readings in Feminist Ethics. Boulder, CO: Westview Press.
Chapters/Articles in Edited Books:
V. Held. 1998. Feminist Transformations of Moral Theory. In Ethics: the Big Questions. J.P. Sterba, ed. Malden, MA: Blackwell Publishing: 331-346.
Journals:
F.A. Chervenak & L.B. McCullough. Perinatal Ethics: A Practical Method of Analysis of Obligations to Mother and Foetus. Obstet Gynecol 1985; 66: 442-446.
F.A. Chervenak & L.B. McCullough. Perinatal Ethics: A Practical Method of Analysis of Obligations to Mother and Foetus. Obstet Gynecol 1985; 66: 442-446: 443. (add page number where reference refers to a direct quote)
NB: Journals must be referenced in the footnotes using their abbreviated title. Journal title abbreviations can be accessed at the NCBI site here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=journals
Just type in journal name and press 'go' to access the abbreviation.
Journal references normally require only the volume number and not the issue number. They should only contain the issue number if the journal volume does not have consecutive pagination.
Newspapers:
C. Dyer & S. Boseley. 1999. A Matter of Life and Death. The Guardian 16 July: 3.
NB: In all book/journal article/internet reference/newspaper articles, all key words should be capitalised and prepositions, pronouns and definite/indefinite articles should be in lower case.
References in Articles
There are several software packages available to help authors manage and format the references and footnotes in their journal article. We recommend the use of a software tool such as EndNote or Reference Manager for reference management and formatting.
EndNote reference styles can be searched for here:
http://www.endnote.com/support/enstyles.asp
Reference Manager reference styles can be searched for here:
http://www.refman.com/support/rmstyles.asp
Internet References:
National Bioethics Advisory Commission (NBAC). 2001. Ethical and Policy Issues in International Research: Clinical Trials in Developing Countries. Bethesada, MD: NBAC. Available at:
http://www.georgetown.edu/research/nrcbl/nbac/clinical/Vol1.pdf [Accessed 12 Jan 2006].
?Provide a 'date last accessed' against each website address - see above for style
?They should be clearly laid out as shown above
?Be sure to include the following - Author/date of publication/last update (usually there is a date on the website)/title of piece/place of publication
either place of publication of hard copy or head office of publisher if online source only)/URL/date last accessed
For immediately repeating footnotes use:
Ibid. (Ibid: page number. - in the case of a direct quote)
e.g. Ibid: 223.
For repeated footnotes not immediately following previous footnote use:
Author's surname, op. cit. note (give previous note number), pp. (give page numbers).
e.g. Chervenak & McCullough, op. cit. note 1, p. 444.
Up to 3 authors - all authors should be listed in the first instance. Over 3 authors - first author plus 'et al.'
In any repeated reference: Up to 2 authors - both authors should be listed. Over 2 authors - first author plus 'et al.'
When linking authors in footnotes, ampersands (&) should be used rather than 'and'.
NB: Please do not use multiple footnotes in the text (i.e. 1,2,3). Use one footnote where multiple references apply and separate references in footnotes with a semicolon. For example:
3 J. Steiner & M.A. Earnest. The Language of Medication-Taking. Ann Intern Med 2000; 132: 926-930; C. Cameron. Patient Compliance: Recognition of Factors Involved and Suggestions for Promoting Compliance with Therapeutic Regimens. J Adv Nurs 1996; 24: 248; D. Lowry. Issues of Noncompliance in Mental Health. J Adv Nurs 1998; 28: 280-287.

STRUCTURE AND STYLE
Spelling:
?UK and US spelling are both acceptable - must be consistent throughout
?Retain original spelling in any quotations
Quotations
?Indent quotes of longer than three lines. Such quotations must be preceded by colon, indented left and have no quotation marks
?Use square brackets [?] to surround text that has been inserted and does not appear in the original quote
?Use single quotation marks throughout. (However, where double quotation marks are present within a direct quotation it is acceptable to retain
double quotation marks.)
Headings
Type subheadings as follows:
?First-level - ALL IN CAPITALS
?Second-level - Sentence case (roman type)
?Third-level - Sentence case (italic type)
Abbreviations, Acronyms and Contractions
?Use full stop after et al., no., vol., p. and pp.
?In footnotes, use comma before 'e.g.' and 'i.e.' but not after (in some British cities, e.g. London, Glasgow?. In text do not use these abbreviations -
use full phrase.
?Full stops are generally not required in abbreviations and acronyms, such as US, UK, UNESCO, WHO.
Tables/Illustrations
?Must be attached as separate files - must be easily identifiable
?Use the table facility in Word to create tables
?Double-check totals
?Indicate where tables should be located in body of text
Apostrophes
?No apostrophe in plurals of abbreviations, e.g. NGOs, or in calendar periods, e.g. 1970s
Hyphens
?Use hyphen to link words
?Use en rule for parenthetical hyphens in the text, i.e. - rather than -
Numbers and Dates
?Spell numbers one to nine inclusive; then 10, 11……..
?Include commas in 5 figure numbers, e.g. 21,000. This is not necessary in 4 figure numbers, e.g. 5600
?Percentages should be written as, e.g. 5%, 37.5%
?Dates should appear in the following form - 4 January 2006 (when located in body of text) and 4 Jan 2006 (when located in web access dates in
footnotes)
Italics
?Use italics: for foreign words not in common usage; titles of published books, journals & organisational statements/declarations (e.g. Universal
Declaration of Human Rights)
?Do not use italics for article titles, chapter titles. Enclose these in single quotation marks
?Government Acts and Bills should be in title caps. They should not be in italics or within quotation marks
?Italics can be used for emphasis
Further Journal Conventions:
?'et al.' should not be italicised
?References to US towns/cities should include state, e.g. Washington, DC.
?Standard abbreviations such as Prof, Dr, PhD, MA, BS do not require to be punctuated by full stops
?Do not use underlining or bold type - use italics for emphasis
?When referencing authors, their initials should be separated by a full point but no space, e.g. F.A. Chervenak
?Terms such as, e.g. government, cabinet, the court, editors, president, should be lower case unless part of official name
?Terms such as, e.g. north, south, enlightenment, holocaust, should not be capitalised unless used in the form of a proper noun, e.g. southern Africa;
the disease had a greater impact on the west of the country; the effects of a nuclear holocaust; victims of the Holocaust during the period of WWII;
the Enlightenment period that developed in the West
Some punctuation issues
?There may not be a 'sociology of ethics', (comma outside quotes)
?So it can be argued that there exists a 'theory of social and moral development'.3 (full stop outside quote/superscript outside full stop)
?When a quote is complete, the full stop should be inside the inverted commas. E.g. X argued that: 'The bioethical approach to research is mandatory
when researching HIV/AIDS.'
??as a result of monitoring. (When such a circumstance occurs, it can be regarded as a direct effect of the bioethical gaze.) (full stop inside
parenthesis when full sentence is enclosed within parenthesis)

Acknowledgements should be located at the end of the manuscript and not in the footnotes
