Two critical ethical concerns related to underrepresentation are often centred in the efforts to transform the publication landscape of Bioethics journals. This article describes these concerns (geographical and identity-based biases), and outlines opportunities for bioethicists to glean valuable insights from global health research (GHR) actors who have wrestled with similar concerns in their field. While strategies employed by GHR actors may be helpful, the article also highlights existing gaps that are vital for bioethicists to consider, as these gaps pose serious barriers to transforming the Bioethics journal publication landscape (BJPL). In the final section, the article makes innovative recommendations for Bioethicists to adequately bridge these gaps so that implemented strategies aimed at transforming BJPL are more impactful and enduring.
