An Internet-Based Ethics Journal



Global Virtue Ethics Review (GVER) is an interdisciplinary ethics journal dedicated to scholarship in ethics and professional ethics.  GVER addresses the growing need for a forum in which scholars and practitioners from across many disciplines can address virtue, values and ethics in a global context.



GVER began in early 1999 as a peer-reviewed electronic journal published by Southern Public Administration Education Foundation (SPAEF) www.spaef.com. Other journals published by SPAEF are: Public Administration Quarterly; the Journal of Health and Human Service Administration; Public Administration and Management; Public Finance and Management; International Journal of Economic Development.
