Ethics & Human Research (formerly IRB: Ethics & Human Research) aims to foster critical analysis of issues in science and health care that have implications for human biomedical and behavioral research, including developments that bring new challenges to existing ethical, regulatory, and policy frameworks governing research with humans in the United States and elsewhere. Six issues are published each year, containing an assortment of commentaries, case studies, peer-reviewed scholarly articles, and book reviews.
To access supporting information for articles in E&HR, such as tables, figures, and appendices that do not appear in the journal itself, see this page.
For prior issues of IRB: Ethics & Human Research, please visit Jstor.org.
Authors include experts in research ethics who come from a wide range of academic disciplines and professions, researchers who conduct biomedical and behavioral research, and policy-makers. We welcome submissions from new authors. E&HR’s readership includes ethics committee members, institutional leaders, researchers, and scholars from many academic disciplines.
Our submissions guidelines can be found here.
