Biosocieties

Journal Title：Biosocieties

BioSocieties is committed to the scholarly exploration of the crucial social, ethical and policy implications of developments in the life sciences and biomedicine. These developments are increasing our ability to control our own biology; enabling us to create novel life forms; changing our ideas of ‘normality’ and ‘abnormality’; transforming our understanding of personal identity, family relations, ancestry and ‘race’; altering our social and personal expectations and responsibilities; reshaping global economic opportunities and inequalities; creating new global security challenges; and generating new social, ethical, legal and regulatory dilemmas. To address these dilemmas requires us to break out from narrow disciplinary boundaries within the social sciences and humanities, and between these disciplines and the natural sciences, and to develop new ways of thinking about the relations between biology and sociality and between the life sciences and society.

BioSocieties provides a crucial forum where the most rigorous social research and critical analysis of these issues can intersect with the work of leading scientists, social researchers, clinicians, regulators and other stakeholders. BioSocieties defines the key intellectual issues at the science-society interface, and offers pathways to the resolution of the critical local, national and global socio-political challenges that arise from scientific and biomedical advances.

As the first journal of its kind, BioSocieties publishes scholarship across the social science disciplines, and represents a lively and balanced array of perspectives on controversial issues. In its inaugural year BioSocieties demonstrated the constructive potential of interdisciplinary dialogue and debate across the social and natural sciences. We are becoming the journal of choice not only for social scientists, but also for life scientists interested in the larger social, ethical and policy implications of their work. The journal is international in scope, spanning research and developments in all corners of the globe.

BioSocieties is published quarterly, with occasional themed issues that highlight some of the critical questions and problematics of modern biotechnologies. Articles, response pieces, review essays, and self-standing editorial pieces by social and life scientists form a regular part of the journal.

BioSocieties 致力于从学术角度探索生命科学和生物医学发展的重要社会、伦理和政策影响。这些发展正在提高我们控制自身生物学的能力；使我们能够创造新的生命形式；改变我们对‘正常’和‘异常’的观念；转变我们对个人身份、家庭关系、血统和‘种族’的理解；改变我们的社会和个人期望和责任；重塑全球经济机遇和不平等；创造新的全球安全挑战；并产生新的社会、伦理、法律和监管困境。要解决这些难题，我们需要突破社会科学和人文学科内部以及这些学科与自然科学之间狭隘的学科界限，并开发关于生物学与社会性之间以及生命科学与社会之间关系的新思维方式。《生物社会》提供了一个重要的论坛，在这里，对这些问题最严格的社会研究和批判性分析可以与领先的科学家、社会研究人员、临床医生、监管者和其他利益相关者的工作相交叉。《生物社会》定义了科学与社会界面上的关键智力问题，并为解决科学和生物医学进步带来的关键的地方、国家和全球社会政治挑战提供了途径。

作为同类期刊中的第一本，《生物社会》发表跨社会科学学科的学术研究成果，并代表了对有争议问题的一系列生动而平衡的观点。在创刊的第一年，它展示了跨社会和自然科学的跨学科对话和辩论的建设性潜力。我们不仅成为社会科学家的首选期刊，而且成为对其工作更广泛的社会、伦理和政策影响感兴趣的生命科学家的首选期刊。该期刊具有国际视野，涵盖全球各个角落的研究和发展。杂志每季度出版一次，偶尔会刊登专题，重点介绍现代生物技术的一些关键问题和难题。社会和生命科学家撰写的文章、回应文章、评论文章和独立社论是该期刊的常规部分。
