Sažetak
Taking the basic goals of the scientific project "EUROBIOMED: From the diversity of traditions to a common Euro-Mediterranean bioethical platform – constructing a tool for dialogue and action (Croatian Science Foundation, HRZZ IP-2020-02)" as a starting point, the presentation investigates important segment of bioethical production by Mediterranean authors. All Croatian journals officially dedicated to bioethical research by their stated journal policy are taken in consideration as a corpus of research: Jahr – European Journal of Bioethics, Synthesis Philosophica and Filozofska istraživanja (Philosophical Investigations). Methodologically, the mentioned corpus is more refined (only scientific articles are taken), the criteria of defining articles as “bioethical” were given by leaning on bibliometric characteristics (titles, key words, and summaries), and the considered approaches for content analysis were presented (from the parameters of EUROBIOMED project). Three dimensions are analyzed. 1) First, the research reveals all Mediterranean countries/regions from which bioethical authors come. 2) Second, topics that are represented in those works are described and categorized under mentioned methodological criteria to provide a basic content analysis. 3) Third, the methodology applied in those articles are critically analyzed and debated in the mentioned project’s framework as a further step of content analysis and broader reflection of bioethical trends among bioethical authors. Apart from the distribution of authors from Mediterranean countries, the results of the analysis should have their potentially broader significance for the issues of representation of Mediterranean topics and methodology concerning bioethics in general, and, indirectly, say much about the relevance of all three mentioned journal in this context, i.e. their place and significance in the bioethical dimension of enriching and contributing to the Mediterranean Studies.
