PERMANENT CALL FOR PAPERS
Bioética UNAM is a new peer-reviewed journal, published by the University Program of Bioethics at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, dedicated to publishing cutting edge research in the field of bioethics. The journal publishes articles in Spanish and English.
Bioética UNAM publishes content on bioethics broadly construed: ethics and the biomedical and biological sciences, environmental ethics matters, and animal ethics. It also publishes texts with a decolonial, feminist, and sexual diversity approaches, among others, to ethical, legal, political, and artistic problems affecting bioethical areas of interest.
Bioética UNAM invites the national and international academic community to submit manuscripts, which will be peer-reviewed in a double-blind process. The following types of texts will be considered:
THEORETICAL OR EMPIRICAL ARTICLES
Articles offering a significant theoretical or conceptual contribution to bioethical discussions, as well as new interpretations, syntheses, or critiques of existing empirical or theoretical work. Articles addressing social, cultural, or philosophical aspects of bioethics.
Additionally, texts contributing to empirical bioethics, integrating normative ethical research with empirical research in natural or social sciences, will also be considered. Empirical research articles must follow the usual structure: title, abstract, keywords, introduction, methodology, results, discussion, conclusions, and references. Evidence of ethical approval needs to be provided before the journal publishes the article (if it was not necessary, authors must explain why). These manuscripts should not exceed 8000 words (excluding references).
REVIEW ARTICLES
Articles using different review methodologies (systematic, scoping, realist, narrative, cutting-edge, critical and integrative, state-of-the-art, meta-analyses, among others) will be considered. Review articles must follow the usual structure: title, abstract, keywords, introduction, methodology, results, discussion, conclusions, and references. Manuscripts should not exceed 8000 words (excluding references).
BOOK REVIEWS
Reviews of books on bioethical topics published within the last three years will be considered. Only critical, not descriptive, reviews will be considered. Manuscripts should not exceed 3000 words (excluding references).
