Journals on bioethics and medical ethics must be more helpful to those in developing countries

What is it about?

Authors and students in developing countries often face difficulties in gaining access to papers in journals published in developed countries. To facilitate two-way exchanges with them, journals must help them gain access for study and publication. One way is to make these journals open access without any fees. 'Indian Journal of Medical Ethics', for example, has provided this facility to all readers from the start.
