Editing Business ethics (section)

==Academic discipline==
As an academic discipline, business ethics emerged in the 1970s. Since no academic business ethics journals or conferences existed, researchers published in general management journals and attended general conferences. Over time, specialized peer-reviewed journals appeared, and more researchers entered the field. Corporate scandals in the earlier 2000s increased the field's popularity. As of 2009, sixteen academic journals devoted to various business ethics issues existed, with ''[[Journal of Business Ethics]]'' and ''[[Business Ethics Quarterly]]'' considered the leaders.<ref>{{cite journal|doi=10.1504/IJBGE.2009.023790|access-date=2009-10-21|url=https://www.aserenko.com/papers/IJBGE040405_PUBLISHED.pdf |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221009/http://www.aserenko.com/papers/IJBGE040405_PUBLISHED.pdf |archive-date=2022-10-09 |url-status=live|author1=Serenko, A.|author2=Bontis, N.|name-list-style=amp|year=2009|title=A citation-based ranking of the business ethics scholarly journals|journal=International Journal of Business Governance and Ethics|volume=4|issue=4|pages=390–399}}</ref> ''[[Journal of Business Ethics Education]]'' publishes articles specifically about education in business ethics.
