About the journal
The Journal of Bioethical Inquiry (JBI)
- fosters an interdisciplinary approach to bioethics by publishing original research at the intersection of ethics, social theory, philosophy and other disciplines
- represents the variety of contemporary perspectives on ethical issues in health and medicine
- seeks new approaches to old problems
- identifies common ground by creating a forum for dialogue across conventional academic boundaries.
SCOPE
The JBI welcomes both reports of empirical research and articles that increase theoretical understanding of medicine and health care, the health professions and the biological sciences. The JBI is also open to critical reflections on medicine and conventional bioethics, the nature of health, illness and disability, the sources of ethics, the nature of ethical communities, and possible implications of new developments in science and technology for social and cultural life and human identity. We welcome contributions from perspectives that are less commonly published in existing journals in the field and reports of empirical research studies using both qualitative and quantitative methodologies.
The JBI accepts contributions from authors working in or across disciplines including but not limited to the following:
- philosophy
- bioethics
- economics
- social theory
- law
- public health and epidemiology
- anthropology
- psychology
- feminism
- gay and lesbian studies
- linguistics and discourse analysis
- cultural studies
- disability studies
- history
- literature and literary studies
- environmental sciences
- theology and religious studies
Contributions discussing bioethical issues in different geographical and cultural settings are welcomed. The Journal of Bioethical Inquiry is the official journal of the Australasian Bioethics Association, the Bioethics Centre of the University of Otago and the Australian Institute of Health Law and Ethics.

Instructions to Authors
General
The Journal of Bioethical Inquiry (JBI) is an international, peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for different disciplinary perspectives on ethical, cultural and social issues in medicine, healthcare, life sciences and biotechnology.  We welcome submissions of original research (both empirical and theoretical) into established domains of bioethical inquiry, such as clinical practice, medical research and biotechnology. We welcome commentary on questions of pressing contemporary relevance, such as the implications of current world events for the health of populations, and critical analyses of specific social policies with respect to their impact on health, welfare and systems of power. We also welcome critical reflections on medicine and conventional bioethics, especially from perspectives that are less commonly represented in existing journals. The JBI will consider contributions from any relevant discipline, including philosophy, bioethics, sociology, health law, anthropology, psychology, feminism, linguistics, cultural studies, disability studies, history, literary theory and literature. We encourage authors to write in a style that is accessible to readers from disciplines other than their own. The journal welcomes manuscripts in the following areas: ?Original research: (including empirical research and theoretical research or conceptual reflections) (Up to 7,000 words with an abstract and keywords) Review articles (Up to 5,000 words with an abstract and key words) Critical commentary on articles published in the JBI (Up to 2,000 words) Critical perspectives and opinion pieces on issues of contemporary interest (Up to 2,000 words) Case reports and case responses (Up to 1,000 words) Book reviews (Up to 1,500 words) Letters to the Editor (Up to 500 words)

Covering letter to Editors
A covering letter should be sent with each manuscript. This should detail: why the article should be published in the Journal of Bioethical Inquiry (in brief, a few lines only) confirmation that the manuscript content (in part or in full) has not been submitted concurrently or published elsewhere. Manuscript Presentation
The journal‘s language is English (see below for Abstracts in other languages). British English or American English spelling and terminology may be used, but either one should be followed consistently throughout the article. Leave adequate margins on all sides to allow for reviewers remarks. Please double-space all material, including notes and references. Quotations of more than 40 words should be set off clearly, either by indenting the left-hand margin or by using a smaller typeface. Use double quotation marks for direct quotations and single quotation marks for quotations within quotations and for words or phrases used in a special sense. Articles and abstracts must be in English, but the journal accepts additional abstracts in other languages of the author’s choice. Such abstracts are optional and must be provided by the authors themselves. Authors need to certify that they are faithful translation of the English original, and they must be supplied in Unicode (see www.unicode.org for details), especially if using non-roman characters. Such abstracts in other languages will carry the following disclaimer: "This abstract is provided by the author(s), and is for convenience of the users only. The author certifies that the translation faithfully represents the version in English, which is the published Abstract of record and is the only Abstract to be used for reference and citation." Arrangement of Manuscript The manuscript should be arranged in the following order: > Title Page The title should be short and adequate. Subtitle: A subtitle may be used to supplement and thereby shorten an excessively long main title Source reference: A footnote that an article was a part of a research project, was presented at a meeting, etc On a separate page please state the following for each author: o Full name, o Affiliation(s)/Address(es) o Qualifications (up to 2 per author) o Where there is more than one author, indicate to whom proofs and offprints should be sent o Word counts for the main text and for the abstract: do not include references, tables, figures, acknowledgements or title page > Abstracts, Key Words and Discipline/Topic The abstract should be brief and informative, consisting of 100 to 150 words. It should not contain any undefined abbreviations or unspecified references Provide 4-6 key words using Msh terms from Index Medicus Nominate at least one discipline and topic area from the list provided > Main text: The relative importance of headings and subheadings should be clear. New paragraphs should be indicated by clear indentation. Block quotations clearly distinguished from the running text. Tables and figures, if any, must be mentioned in the text, and each numbered with Arabic numerals followed by the title. Table footnotes should be marked with superscript numbers. Use a normal, plain font (e.g., 10-point Times Roman) for text. Use italics for emphasis. Use the automatic page numbering function to number the pages. Do not use field functions. Use tab stops or other commands for indents, not the space bar. Use the table function, not spreadsheets, to make tables. Use the equation editor or MathType for equations. Note: If you use Word 2007, do not create the equations with the default euation editor but use the Microsoft equation editor or MathType instead. Save your file in doc format. Do not submit docx files. Style Guidelines Use abbreviations sparingly, stating in full at first use. First-, second-, third-, and fourth-order headings should be clearly distinguishable. Give all measurements in SI units (except blood pressure, which is in mmHg). Supply reference ranges where appropriate. Drugs should be referred to by their generic, not their proprietary names. Do not include any headers and footers or automatic referencing in the manuscript, just page numbering. Footnotes Footnotes on the title page are not given reference symbols. Footnotes to the text are numbered consecutively; those to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data). > After the main text : Acknowledgements A statement of competing interests Details of funding support Details of patient consent (where relevant for Case Reports) References: these should be listed alphabetically, typed doubled spaced at the end of the article on separate pages, and in the text referred to by author and date Appendices (if any) Figures (if any) Tables (if any) Acknowledgements Acknowledgements of people, grants, funds etc. must be brief and should be placed in a separate section before the reference list. Acknowledge funding sources (written in full) and people who have contributed to the study but do not qualify as authors. Do not include secretarial staff. It is the responsibility of the principal author to obtain permission to acknowledge individuals. References Accuracy of reference is the responsibility of authors. Use the “Chicago Author Date "or “Chicago Cursive"style of in text referencing, as described in the Chicago Manual of Style (www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html) and cite journal names in full. Cite personal communications and unpublished papers in the text, not in the reference list. Obtain written permission from people cited, and give their titles, position and affiliations. References to books, journal articles, articles in collections and conference or workshop proceedings, and technical reports should be collected in an alphabetical list at the end of the paper. Articles in preparation or articles submitted for publication, unpublished observations, personal communications, etc. should not be included in the Reference list but should only be mentioned in the article text (e.g., T. Moore, personal communication). The following sample references show different sources. For more sample references, please refer to the site of the Chicago Manual of Style at: www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html Book 1.

Evanston Public Library. http://www.epl.org/library/strategic-plan-00.html. Figures All photographs, graphs and diagrams should be referred to as a 'Figure' and they should be numbered consecutively (1, 2, etc.). Multi-part figures ought to be labeled with lower case letters (a, b, etc.). Please insert keys and scale bars directly in the figures. Relatively small text and great variation in text sizes within figures should be avoided as figures are often reduced in size. Figures may be sized to fit approximately within the column(s) of the journal. Provide a detailed legend (without abbreviations) to each figure, refer to the figure in the text and note its approximate location in the margin. Please place the legends in the manuscript after the references. Tables Present all tables in double-spaced type on separate pages. Simplify the information as much as possible, keeping the number of columns to a minimum and the headings short. Information in tables should not be duplicated in the text. Please minimize use of horizontal and vertical lines in tables. All tables are to be numbered using Arabic numerals. Tables should always be cited in text in consecutive numerical order. For each table, please supply a table heading. The table title should explain clearly and concisely the components of the table. Identify any previously published material by giving the original source in the form of a reference at the end of the table heading. In tables, footnotes are preferable to long explanatory material in either the heading or body of the table. Footnotes to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data) and included beneath the table body. Finally, please place the tables after the figure legends in the manuscript.
After Acceptance
Upon acceptance of your article you will receive a link to the special Author Query Application at Springer’s web page where you can sign the Copyright Transfer Statement online and indicate whether you wish to order OpenChoice, paper offprints, or printing of figures in colour.

Springer Open Choice
In addition to the normal publication process (whereby an article is submitted to the journal and access to that article is granted to customers who have purchased a subscription), Springer now provides an alternative publishing option: Springer Open Choice. A Springer Open Choice article receives all the benefits of a regular subscription-based article, but in addition is made available publicly through Springer’s online platform SpringerLink. Springer Open Choice can be ordered via the link sent to you shortly after acceptance of your article (see “After Acceptance?above). We regret that Springer Open Choice cannot be ordered for published articles.
