Science and Engineering Ethics
http://www.springer.com/philosophy/ethics/journal/11948

Science and Engineering Ethics is a multi-disciplinary journal dedicated to exploring ethical issues of direct concern to scientists and engineers covering professional education, research and practice as well as the effects of innovations on the wider society. Controversies in science and instances of misconduct have received considerable media attention. In addition, the range of new capabilities and understandings that result from research in science and engineering, and the power of these developments, portrayed by the media as being orders of magnitude beyond that which we are familiar, have become a source of concern within the societies in which we live and work. Science and Engineering Ethics provides a forum for the examination and discussion of ethical issues that arise in the practice of scientific research and engineering, and in the practical application of that work. For the purpose of the journal, science and engineering are defined broadly and include all aspects of human endeavor that seek to increase the range and quality of our knowledge and the application of this knowledge to the generation of goods and services that benefit us as individuals and as members of societies. The journal presents an opportunity for the discussion of ethical values and professional standards as well as exploring the expectations and concerns of professionals in science. In addition, Science and Engineering Ethics provides material which will be useful for the education and training of scientists and engineers in the ethical issues that they will encounter in their workplaces. The journal also provides a forum for the exchange of views on the many issues that are presented to society by innovations in science and engineering. These include new products that have arisen from genetic engineering, informatics, nucleonics, robotics and our abilities to manipulate the fertilization process. Other concerns emerge from our use of animals in research, our approach to healthcare, the persuasiveness of the media, the sustainability of a high quality environment and the way in which we build and use our towns and cities.
