handle is hein.journals/jlbsc1 and id is 1 raw text is: Journal of Law and the Biosciences, 1-2 doi:10.1093/jlb/st005 EDITORIAL Dear Reader, We are delighted to introduce you to the inaugural issue of Journal of Law and the Biosciences (JLB). JLB is the first peer-reviewed legal journal focused on advances at the intersection of law and the biosciences. A co-venture between Duke University, Harvard Law School, Stanford University, and Oxford University Press, the open- access, online, and interdisciplinary academic journal will publish cutting-edge schol- arship in this important new field. JLB aims to become the source for top interdisciplinary scholarship at the intersec- tion oflaw and the biosciences. We seek to develop a conversation among lawyers, bio- scientists, philosophers, historians, and experts in other disciplines regarding cutting- edge developments in the biosciences, their implications for the law, and the law's impli- cations for them, as well as persistent, unresolved problems or issues at the intersection of law and the biosciences. One of our greatest strengths is our Editorial Board, which comprises of 32 leading experts in a diverse range of fields from top schools across the US, UK, and Canada. JLB will be published as one volume with three issues per year. New articles will be posted online on an ongoing basis. The journal will publish cutting-edge scholarship on a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to, those pertaining to bioethics, neuroethics, reproductive technologies, stem cells, enhancement, genetics, patent law, and food and drug regulation. JLB encourages the submission of original manuscripts, responses, and essays de- voted to the examination ofissues related to the intersection oflaw and the biosciences. We welcome submissions of varying length, with a theoretical, empirical, practical, or policy oriented focus, including: Original articles that explore their topic in depth in a manuscript ordinarily not to exceed 20,000 words (all word limits include footnotes) in length, although we will consider articles up to 30,000 words. - Responses to articles, including policy-oriented, research-based, and analytical responses, ordinarily no longer than 10,000 words in length. Original critical and academic essays up to 10,000 words on topics of contem- porary or historical interest. © The Author 2014.
