The American Journal of Bioethics is a monthly peer-reviewed academic journal of bioethics published by Taylor & Francis.[1] It publishes target articles, peer commentary, book reviews, qualitative research, literary criticism, photography and graphic arts, and comments on developments in law and medicine.[2] The founding editor was Glenn McGee, who resigned in 2012 after concerns regarding a possible conflict of interest with his new position in industry had been raised.[3] McGee was succeeded by David Magnus (Stanford University) and Summer Johnson McGee (Loyola University Chicago). Johnson McGee then left later in 2012. The journal has also been criticized for not disclosing conflicts of interest of authors that had close relationships with the journal.[4]
