Dignitas is the quarterly publication of The Center for Bioethics & Human Dignity, and is a vehicle for the scholarly discussion of bioethical issues from a Judeo-Christian Hippocratic worldview, updates in the fields of bioethics, medicine, and technology, and information regarding the Center’s ongoing activities.

Submissions & Correspondence

We invite potential contributors to offer responses to the various commentaries and articles in Dignitas to continue the charitable dialogue we hope to inspire through the material we publish. We also invite the submission of reviews and commentaries on articles in other journals or recently published books relevant to bioethics, as well as full-length article submissions that engage in specialty or emerging areas of bioethics, particularly in the areas of biotechnology, clinical & medical ethics, disability ethics, emerging technology, genetic ethics, global bioethics, nursing ethics, and public health. For more information, please see our Submission Guidelines.

Editorial Policy

Beginning in 2017, Dignitas introduced an external peer-review phase to the editorial review process for full-length articles. All pieces are editorially reviewed by all members of the research staff and executive staff of CBHD to assess the quality of writing and scholarship. Additionally, all full-length articles are reviewed in a blind review process by multiple members of our editorial review board to assess the specialized content and argument. In cases where internal expertise is not sufficient to adequately assess the content of individual submissions, additional external experts from our Academy of Fellows, Healthcare Ethics Council, Advisory Board, and other individuals are invited to assess the piece.
