Introducing a new quarterly journal: 
 
SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING ETHICS 
 
Editors:  
Stephanie J. Bird, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA 
Raymond E. Spier, University of Surrey, UK  
 
Published quarterly by Opragen Publications, PO Box 54,  
Guildford, GU1 2YF, UK 
 
Science and Engineering Ethics is a multi-disciplinary quarterly journal 
launched in January 1995 which is dedicated to exploring ethical issues of 
direct concern to scientists and engineers covering professional education, 
research and practice as well as the effects of innovations on the wider 
society. An international editorial board has been appointed which 
represents a broad range of expertise. The journal will publish original 
research papers, reviews, comment pieces, letters, editorials, book reviews 
and conference reports. It will also publish special issues devoted to 
single topics of importance; these include Trustworthy Research (in 1995), 
Computer Ethics (in 1996) and Peer Review (in 1997). 
 
In this new journal both science and engineering are defined broadly and 
include all aspects of human endeavour that seek to increase the range and 
quality of our knowledge and the application of this knowledge to the 
generation of goods and services that benefit us as individuals and as 
members of societies. 
 
Although the focus of this publication is primarily directed towards 
practitioners of science and engineering,  contributions from a broad range 
of disciplines will be included.  The journal presents an opportunity for 
the discussion of ethical values and professional standards as well as 
exploring the expectations and concerns of professionals in science. In 
addition, Science and  Engineering Ethics will provide material which will 
be useful for the education and training of scientists and engineers in the 
ethical issues that they will encounter in their workplaces - a matter 
receiving increasing attention. 
 
The journal will also provide a forum for the exchange of views on the many 
issues that are presented to society by innovations in science and 
engineering. These include new products that have arisen from genetic 
engineering, informatics, nucleonics, robotics and our abilities to 
manipulate the fertilization process. Other concerns emerge from our use of 
animals in research, our approach to healthcare, the persuasiveness of the 
media, the sustainability of a high quality environment and the way in which 
we build and use our towns and cities. 
 
Science and Engineering Ethics welcomes manuscripts from those who wish to 
make contributions to progress in this field. Papers containing original 
research will be double-blind refereed.  
 
Announcements of meetings and networks relevant to the subject matter are 
welcomed and will be published in each issue as a service to readers. 
Information should be sent to Opragen Publications at the address below.
