A Community-Based Journal for Protein ScientistsIn January 2004, the journal Protein Engineering was relaunched as Protein Engineering, Design and Selection, or PEDS. PEDS publishes research papers and review articles relevant to the engineering, design and selection of proteins for use in biotechnology and therapy, and for understanding fundamental properties of activity, stability, folding, misfolding and disease. The journal has new editors, a new editorial structure, and a new reviewing system to make it a community journal run by protein scientists for their own discipline.

Public Health Ethics is the first peer-reviewed international journal to focus on a systematic analysis of the moral problems in public health and preventive medicine. It contains original articles, reviews, and case studies about the nature of public health and related concepts (e.g. population, public, community, prevention); discussions of values in public health; and ethical issues in relation to all aspects of public health policy and practice. This includes normative issues in epidemiological research, health promotion, infectious diseases control, screening, population genetics, resource allocation, health care system reform, vaccinations, environmental and lifestyle factors relevant to health, equity, justice and global health. PHE combines theoretical and practical work from different fields, notably philosophy, law, and politics, but also epidemiology and the medical sciences. Contributors are particularly encouraged to discuss the practical impact of their work on public health policies. PHE is therefore an important resource for scholars and students in bioethics and public health, but also for professionals and policy makers.

The theoretical and methodological advances detailed in pages of POQ ensure its importance as a research resource.Indexing/AbstractingThis journal is indexed by America: History and Life, Current Contents/Social & Behavioral Sciences, Combined Retrospective Index Sets (CRIS), Historical Abstracts, International Political Science Abstracts, Peace Research Abstracts, Political Science Abstracts (PSA), Public Affairs Information Services, Social Sciences Index, Sociological Abstracts, United States Political Science Documents, and Worldwide Political Science Abstracts. .

The Journal of Federalism: a virtual issue which provides a compendium of recent articles in Publius on a topical issue. The first virtual issue, available by clicking below, was edited by Patrick McGuinn on Federalism and Education Policy. This issue features Patrick’s overview on federalism and education policy and makes available previously published Publius articles on No Child Left Behind, the Race to the Top, higher education, and U.S. and Canadian education policy. This issue should be of great interest to scholars in education policy and valuable for classroom use to illustrate the dynamism and relevance of federalism in this important public policy area. This virtual issue is available at no cost for six months. Later this year we will upload a similar virtual issue on health policy. I hope you find these helpful and would welcome your feedback on this issue or ones you would like to see in the future.
