Aims & Scope

Acta Bioethica is a biannual publication by the Interdisciplinary Center for Studies in Bioethics of the University of Chile, which publishes in three languages: Spanish, English and Portuguese. It constitutes a pluralistic source of perspectives and an important tribune which accepts the contributions of authors compromised with the interdisciplinary study of ethical determinants and consequences of techno scientific research. The journal edits a main topic per issue, with articles asked by an invited editor (specialist in the topic chosen), and it also includes a section of articles not solicited of various nature (interfaces), reviews of recent bioethical publications and other significant documents for the inter discipline. It also counts with an International Advisory Committee and a system of arbitration of manuscripts based on peer review.
