Ranking bioethics journals
A very helpful list of the leading bioethics journals.
Bioethicist Udo Schuklenk has produced the following ranking of bioethics journals. It is based on 2019 Google Scholar Metrics. The “h5-index” is the h-index for articles published in the last 5 complete years. It is the largest number h such that h articles published in 2014-2018 have at least h citations each. The “h5-median” for a publication is the median number of citations for the articles that make up its h5-index.
