New Journal for 2008: Studies in Ethics, Law, and Technology

Irene Perciali, The Berkeley Electronic Press

Abstract

The Berkeley Electronic Press is pleased to announce the launch of a new peer-reviewed journal in law and technology, Studies in Ethics, Law, and Technology. This new journal brings the bepress journal collection total to 39.

Studies in Ethics, Law, and Technology is a peer-reviewed and policy-focused journal that examines the ethical and legal issues that arise from emerging technologies. While much attention has gone to specific fields such as bioethics, this is the first journal to address the broad scope of all technologies and their impact on the environment, society, and humanity. Topics include biotech, nanotech, neurotech, IT, weapons, energy and fuel, space-based technology, and new media and communications. Articles explore the synergy between law and ethics, and provide a robust policy response to technology’s opportunities and challenges.

The journal is edited by Anthony Mark Cutter (University of Central Lancashire) and Bert Gordijn (Radboud University); co-editors include some of the best-known figures in their fields, such as NASA’s David Grinspoon, NIH bioethicist David Resnick, and technology law advisor Jeffrey H. Matsuura.

Upcoming special issues will include Health Information Management, Synthetic Biology and Synthetic Life, and Communications and Media.
