Ethics & Human Research (EHR)

Ethics & Human Research is a peer‑reviewed academic journal dedicated to fostering rigorous analysis and discussion of ethical issues arising in human biomedical and behavioral research. Launched in 2019 as the successor to IRB: Ethics & Human Research, the journal retains the mission of its predecessor — which began publication in 1979 — to explore complex ethical, regulatory, and policy challenges tied to research involving human subjects. Published six times per year, E&HR includes scholarly articles, commentaries, case studies, book reviews, and expert perspectives that address evolving topics such as informed consent, protection of vulnerable populations, risk‑benefit assessment in clinical trials, genetic and biospecimen research, research integrity, and novel ethical dilemmas posed by emerging technologies. The journal serves a wide audience including research ethics committee members, institutional review boards (IRBs), biomedical and social science researchers, policymakers, and ethics scholars. Its content is designed both to inform ethical discourse and to guide practical decision‑making in research oversight and design. With global relevance, E&HR regularly features contributions from leading scholars and practitioners in research ethics, providing timely insight into both long‑standing and emerging ethical issues in human subjects research.
