[Air-l] Poverty and Human Development

[Marc Hebert]

Global Theme Issue *Call for Participation*

*Global Theme Issue on Poverty and Human Development Planned for October
2007*

The Council of Science Editors is organizing a Global Theme Issue on Poverty
and Human Development in October 2007. 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.

Thus far, more than 160 journals have agreed to participate (see list
below). 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.

Some journals will dedicate an entire issue to this subject, others will
publish a few papers, and still others plan to publish an editorial. Some
journals with less frequent publication schedules plan to release these
articles early online to coincide with the common release date.

All science journals are invited to participate in the Global Theme Issue.
Representatives of interested journals should send an e-mail to the
attention of Annette Flanagin at jeni.reiling at jama-archives.org. Please
direct any questions or requests for additional information to this e-mail
address as well. Please visit the website at
