Academic publisher SAGE has announced a new agreement to publish The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists from September 2010.
Founded in 1945 by scientists, engineers, and other experts who had created the atomic bomb as part of the Manhattan Project, the Bulletin informs the public about threats to the survival and development of humanity from nuclear weapons, climate change, and emerging technologies in the life sciences. The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists as an organisation is known for the 'Doomsday Clock' that displays in terms of 'minutes to midnight' how close humanity is to catastrophic destruction. It has only recently been reset backwards to read six minutes to midnight, having moved as close as two minutes to midnight in 1953.
A bimonthly publication, The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists is recognised worldwide as a key communications outlet, bridging the gap between experts and lay audiences and contributing to both public discussion and the global security agenda. Early contributors include Robert Oppenheimer, Albert Einstein and Bertrand Russell. The board of sponsors currently includes 19 Nobel Laureates. The first issue to publish with SAGE will be September 2010 (vol. 66 issue 5). The journal is available online only. The new website on SAGE Journals Online will be http://bos.sagepub.com.
