The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) has announced a partnership with academic publisher Palgrave Macmillan to publish the journal BioSocieties, starting March 2010.
A quarterly publication, BioSocieties explores the social, ethical and policy implications of developments in the life sciences and biomedicine. The journal explores the most important points of exchange and dialogue that need to occur, and are occurring, between life scientists and social scientists in this biotechnological age. It examines the substantive contributions that social scientists can make to understanding the ever increasing role of the biomedical research in our everyday lives. Also, it demonstrates how social science analysis makes a difference to research, policy and practice.
Palgrave Macmillan, the academic publishing division of Macmillan Publishers Ltd, will take over publishing duties from Cambridge University Press from Volume Five in March 2010. The editorial operation of BioSocieties will continue unchanged.
