Overview

Science and Engineering Ethics is an international multidisciplinary journal dedicated to exploring ethical issues associated with science and engineering, covering professional education, research and practice as well as the effects of technological innovations and research findings on society. 

 While the focus of this journal is on science and engineering, contributions from a broad range of disciplines, including social sciences and humanities, are welcomed. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, ethics of new and emerging technologies, research ethics, computer ethics, energy ethics, animals and human subjects ethics, ethics education in science and engineering, ethics in design, biomedical ethics, values in technology and innovation. 

 We welcome contributions that deal with these issues from an international perspective, particularly from countries that are underrepresented in these discussions.

  • Thank You to Dena Plemmons for Her Leadership as Editor-in-Chief

    As of 2025, Dena Plemmons will step down as Editor-in-Chief of Science and Engineering Ethics.

    We extend our deepest thanks to Dena for her exceptional leadership and invaluable contributions to the journal. Under her guidance, Science and Engineering Ethics has earned a strong reputation in the field. Notably, the journal published its most downloaded article, The Boeing 737 MAX: Lessons for Engineering Ethics, which has exceeded 125,000 individual downloads. We anticipate the journal’s total usage will surpass 1 million downloads in 2024. Dena also played a key role in overseeing the transition to full Open Access and Continuous Article Publishing, leaving the journal in a strong position for continued growth.

    We would also like to express our gratitude to Lida Anestidou for her dedicated support throughout Dena’s tenure.

    Please join us in thanking Dena for her outstanding work and commitment to the journal.
