About Genomics, Society and Policy
Published by the ESRC Genomics Network, Genomics, Society and Policy is a peer reviewed online journal that provides an outlet for interdisciplinary research on the social, ethical and legal aspects of genomics and related emergent technologies such as nanotechnology and stem cell research. It is an initiative of the ESRC Genomics Network (EGN) and the Dutch Centre for Society and the Life Sciences.
GSP welcomes submissions from sociological, philosophical, anthropological, legal, historical and other perspectives. We welcome submissions concerned with human medical issues, environmental impacts, human/animal relations and animal ethics. The journal will from time to time have themed special issues.
We are pleased to say that Genomics, Society and Policy is free, open access and will publish three times a year. The online format provides for quicker processing of time-sensitive research and a greater degree of interaction with a rapid response section.
About the ESRC Genomics Network
The ESRC Genomics Network is a £12 million investment by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) dedicated to examining the development and use of the science and technologies of genomics.
The EGN spans six of the UK's leading universities, and involves more than a hundred researchers, from professors to PhD students, as well as an international cast of visiting research fellows. It is one of the largest social science investments in the ESRC's current portfolio, and is growing into the largest concentration of social scientific research on genomics in the world.
The activities of the EGN span the whole field of genomics, covering areas as diverse as plant and animal genetics, embryonic stem cell research, and associated health applications.
The EGN comprises the Genomics Forum (University of Edinburgh), Cesagen (Lancaster University and Cardiff University), Egenis (University of Exeter) and Innogen (University of Edinburgh and the Open University).
About CSG
The Centre for Society and the Life Sciences (CSG) aims at setting up a coherent and innovative research programme of the societal aspects of genomics, and will do so in constant interaction with society. CSG is initiated by the Netherlands Genomics Initiative.
