This journal aims to focus in particular on the legal and ethical aspects of medicine. This is an opportunity for the increasing number of academics and practitioners alike to discuss the most controversial areas of medical law, to present research, to analyse and criticise the law, and hopefully aim to improve the way that medical care is provided.

Authors’s guidelines

Editorial policy

The Journal of Medical Law and Ethics (JMLE) aims to publish excellent quality peer-reviewed articles, reports, case notes and essays in the field of medical law and ethics. The journal will place a strong emphasis on legal and ethical research, critical analysis, scrutiny, theory and evaluation. Submissions will examine a topical area of medical law and will be expected to assess, question or evaluate the impact of the relevant provision or authority on the legal and/or ethical landscape, drawing together views from academics, practitioners, and previous research.

Publications Ethics

The JMLE editors will operate in alignment with the Code of Conduct for Journal Editors developed by COPE (the Committee on Publication Ethics), which provides a forum for publishers and Editors of scientific journals to discuss issues relating to the integrity of the work submitted to or published in their journals.

Potential conflict of interest

When authors submit a manuscript, whether an article or another publication, they are responsible for disclosing all financial and personal relationships that might bias their work.

JMLE Peer review process

The JMLE peer reviews all the material it receives, internally and externally.

In order that the review process can be as efficient as possible for both authors and reviewers, all manuscripts are initially reviewed and a decision is made about whether to send the paper for external review. The manuscript may be accepted, considered acceptable with revisions, or rejected.

The reviewers are specifically queried not just on the scientific originality, quality and correctness, but also on whether the findings are of interest to a more general area of readership. In the latter case the it may be published as a non-scientific contribution.

Manuscripts will be reviewed with due respect for authors’ confidentiality.
