The way we publish shapes what we know and whose voices are heard. In bioethics, where discourse itself is a fundamental method, publishing practices must reflect core ethical commitments. This paper outlines a vision for the future of bioethics publishing rooted in three principles: true open access, a not-for-profit structure, and inclusive discourse. In this paper, we explore innovative solutions to ongoing challenges, such as the peer review crisis, editorial invisibility, and the dominance of monolithic knowledge models. We advocate for community-owned journals that treat publishing as a collective, reflexive, and discursive practice. The future of bioethics requires publishing models that are as ethically sound as the work they aim to disseminate.
