Global Issue called for by the Council of Science Editors
Call for Participation
Global Theme Issue on Poverty and Human Development planned for October 2007 organized by the Council of Science Editors.
Science journals throughout the world will simultaneously publish papers on this topic of worldwide interest - to raise awareness, stimulate interest, and stimulate research into poverty and human development. This is an international collaboration with journals from developed and developing countries.
To date, 200 journals have agreed to participate. The journals plan to publish new original research, review articles, editorials, perspectives, news stories, and other types of articles on the subject of poverty and human development with a common publication or release date of Monday, October 22, 2007.
Two previous global theme issues have been published successfully by biomedical journals. In January 1996, more than 200 articles on Emerging and Reemerging Global Microbial Threats were published by 36 journals from 21 countries, and in 1997, 97 journals in 31 countries published on the theme of Ageing.
