New Biosecurity Journal to be Published by Mary Ann Liebert

Posted on February 7, 2002

Publisher Mary Ann Liebert announced a new quarterly peer-reviewed journal, Biosecurity: The Journal of Biodefense Strategy, Practice, and Science that will be published both in print and online. The first issue will be published in fall 2002.

Biodefense is a public health and national security issue of the highest priority. The new journal Biosecurity will cover bioscience, medical and public health response, infrastructure and institutions, international collaborations, agroterror/food safety, and citizen response and responsibility. In addition to being the focal point for papers, Biosecurity will play a significant role in establishing a cohesive and urgently needed vehicle for the establishment of major educational efforts and interaction on issues of research, policy, prevention, and preparedness. The journal will pull together national and international strategy, professional practice, and technical and scientific issues and integrate them in a way to foster communication within various professional communities, including medicine, public health, law, national security, bioscientific research, and vaccine and drug development. Editorial board members will be selected from government, academia, industry, and institutes of public policy.

"It is an important and timely journal," Mary Ann Liebert said, "with a multidisciplinary emphasis that draws together the disparate groups that must collaborate to effectively protect our homeland and peace-abiding nations."

Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. is a privately held, media company which publishes peer-reviewed journals in new and promising areas of science and biomedical research, including Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, Astrobiology, and Human Gene Therapy.
