The journal has a dual mission: to promote high-quality research in the fields of biomedicine and bioethics, and to serve as a learning platform for young researchers at the beginning of their academic careers. We welcome a wide range of submissions including but not limited to original research articles, editorials, case reports, and other scholarly contributions. Our editorial process is guided by the highest standards of peer review and publication ethics with all submitted manuscripts undergoing a double-blind review by at least two expert reviewers. The journal is published twice a year, both in print (ISSN 3043-7164) and online (ISSN 3043-8373) formats. All accepted articles are published in open access, making them freely available to the public.
