Hastings Center Report

Wiley-Blackwell is partnering with The Hastings Center to publish the Hastings Center Report, described as one of the leading journals in the field of bioethics. The partnership aims to broaden the reach of the Hastings Center Report, particularly by expanded access to libraries.

The self-published Report publishes essays, commentary, and scholarly and research articles on ethical and social issues raised by advances in medicine and the life sciences. Recent issues have included two series—one on synthetic biology and one on psychiatric diagnosis and treatment in children—as well as articles on paid organ donation in Pakistan, and paid oocyte donation in the USA.

The Report will be included in the Wiley-Blackwell Collection, making it available in 3300 libraries globally that do not currently subscribe to the Report. The January/February 2012 issue will be the first in the new partnership.

Electronic distribution of the Report will be provided by Wiley Online Library. Wiley Online Library will also enable the Report to be integrated more closely with Bioethics Forum, the Center’s online blog.
