)Ethics is an academic journal established in 1890 as the International Journal of Ethics, renamed in 1938, and published since 1923 by the University of Chicago Press. The journal covers scholarly work in moral, political, and legal philosophy from a variety of intellectual perspectives, including social and political theory, law, and economics. Ethics publishes both theory and application of theory to contemporary moral issues, and accepts historical essays, provided they have significant implications for contemporary theory. Ethics also publishes review essays, discussion articles, and book reviews. The journal frequently publishes work from contributors outside the United States, and work that draws on more than one disciplinary approach.
Ethics is noteworthy for its triple blind review process. Authors are not told the names of external reviewers, nor are external reviewers told the names of authors. Furthermore, editors are unable to see the authors' names when screening papers, or voting on papers put forward by handling editors.
According to the Thomson Reuters 2016 Journal Citation Reports, the journal has an impact factor of 1.341, ranking it 14th out of 51 journals in the category "Ethics".
Scimago Journal Rank places Ethics 12th in the category of philosophy in 2016, giving it an SRJ indicator of 1.371.
Google Scholar gives Ethics an h-5 index of 20, ranking it 7th in the category of "Ethics." In the category of "Philosophy," Ethics ranks 10th. An 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 2012-2016 have at least h citations each.
Ethics is the direct continuation of the International Journal of Ethics (IJE), founded in October 1890. IJE's first volume included contributions by many leading moral philosophers, including the pragmatists John Dewey and William James, idealists Bernard Bosanquet and Josiah Royce, and the utilitarian Henry Sidgwick.
