BIOSECURITY AND BIOTERRORISM: Biodefense Strategy, Practice, and Science, a quarterly peer-reviewed journal, provides an international forum for debate and exploration of the many key strategic, scientific, and operational issues posed by biological weapons and bioterrorism.
The Journal publishes multidisciplinary analyses and a vigorous exchange of perspectives that are essential to the formulation and implementation of successful strategies to diminish the threat of bioweapons. The content of BIOSECURITY AND BIOTERRORISM is imperative for individuals with strategic, management, scientific, or operational responsibilities in fields that have a bearing on bioterrorism issues, including medicine, public health, law, national security, bioscientific research, agriculture and food safety and drug and vaccine development, and officials in all branches of local government. The Journal also is a key and authoritative resource for policy makers and the media.
The purview of BIOSECURITY AND BIOTERRORISM includes:
- scientific and medical advancements that might help prevent or respond to epidemics initiated by bioweapons attacks;
- mechanisms to catalyze critical biodefense-related scientific inquiry and provide appropriate governance where needed;
- future directions and innovations in public health designed to improve response to bioterrorism;
- operational and strategic concerns and solutions for health care organizations planning to cope with potential mass-casualty attacks;
- initiatives or concepts intended to reduce agricultural bioterrorism vulnerabilities;
- military and intelligence roles and contributions to biodefense strategy and response;
- communication methods, priorities, and challenges for decision-makers, stakeholders, the media and the public; and,
- ethical and legal dilemmas posed by biodefense vulnerabilities or precipitated by biodefense response planning efforts.
Biodefense in the USA and worldwide demand that leaders in these fields and the organizations that they manage adapt to a novel and complex set of problems and contexts. Articles that offer insight into how leaders and institutions might evolve and develop the systems needed for this new challenge are highly encouraged.
