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 致力于從學(xué)術(shù)角度探索生命科學(xué)和生物醫(yī)學(xué)發(fā)展的重要社會(huì)、倫理和政策影響。這些發(fā)展正在提高我們控制自身生物學(xué)的能力；使我們能夠創(chuàng)造新的生命形式；改變我們對(duì)‘正常’和‘異常’的觀念；轉(zhuǎn)變我們對(duì)個(gè)人身份、家庭關(guān)系、血統(tǒng)和‘種族’的理解；改變我們的社會(huì)和個(gè)人期望和責(zé)任；重塑全球經(jīng)濟(jì)機(jī)遇和不平等；創(chuàng)造新的全球安全挑戰(zhàn)；并產(chǎn)生新的社會(huì)、倫理、法律和監(jiān)管困境。要解決這些難題，我們需要突破社會(huì)科學(xué)和人文學(xué)科內(nèi)部以及這些學(xué)科與自然科學(xué)之間狹隘的學(xué)科界限，并開發(fā)關(guān)于生物學(xué)與社會(huì)性之間以及生命科學(xué)與社會(huì)之間關(guān)系的新思維方式。《生物社會(huì)》提供了一個(gè)重要的論壇，在這里，對(duì)這些問(wèn)題最嚴(yán)格的社會(huì)研究和批判性分析可以與領(lǐng)先的科學(xué)家、社會(huì)研究人員、臨床醫(yī)生、監(jiān)管者和其他利益相關(guān)者的工作相交叉。《生物社會(huì)》定義了科學(xué)與社會(huì)界面上的關(guān)鍵智力問(wèn)題，并為解決科學(xué)和生物醫(yī)學(xué)進(jìn)步帶來(lái)的關(guān)鍵的地方、國(guó)家和全球社會(huì)政治挑戰(zhàn)提供了途徑。

作為同類期刊中的第一本，《生物社會(huì)》發(fā)表跨社會(huì)科學(xué)學(xué)科的學(xué)術(shù)研究成果，并代表了對(duì)有爭(zhēng)議問(wèn)題的一系列生動(dòng)而平衡的觀點(diǎn)。在創(chuàng)刊的第一年，它展示了跨社會(huì)和自然科學(xué)的跨學(xué)科對(duì)話和辯論的建設(shè)性潛力。我們不僅成為社會(huì)科學(xué)家的首選期刊，而且成為對(duì)其工作更廣泛的社會(huì)、倫理和政策影響感興趣的生命科學(xué)家的首選期刊。該期刊具有國(guó)際視野，涵蓋全球各個(gè)角落的研究和發(fā)展。雜志每季度出版一次，偶爾會(huì)刊登專題，重點(diǎn)介紹現(xiàn)代生物技術(shù)的一些關(guān)鍵問(wèn)題和難題。社會(huì)和生命科學(xué)家撰寫的文章、回應(yīng)文章、評(píng)論文章和獨(dú)立社論是該期刊的常規(guī)部分。

Biosocieties創(chuàng)刊于2006年，由Springer Nature出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋SOCIAL SCIENCES, BIOMEDICAL全領(lǐng)域，此期刊水平偏中等偏靠后，在所屬細(xì)分領(lǐng)域中專業(yè)影響力一般，過(guò)審相對(duì)較易，如果您文章質(zhì)量佳，選擇此期刊，發(fā)表機(jī)率較高。平均審稿速度 ，影響因子指數(shù)1.3，該期刊近期沒有被列入國(guó)際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
