From their "About Us" page:        

"The Journal of Life Sciencesis a bi-monthly magazine founded in 2007. Focusing on the space ‘where science and society meet,’ the Journal offers fresh analysis and commentary about the impact of biotechnology and the other bio sciences on business, policy, and culture. The Journal’s intelligent, incisive, and skeptical editorial style helps readers keep up with the changes in the life sciences, which will soon affect nearly every aspect of modern life, from the food we eat to the way we approach diseases, clean the environment, and defend countries from terrorism.

The Journal is published by Burrill & Company and the California Healthcare Institute (CHI). Burrill & Company is a life sciences merchant bank and CHI is a nonprofit public policy research organization for California’s life sciences industry."

Submit your manuscript to Conservation Letters for maximum exposure

Fast, global and policy-relevant, Conservation Letters is a new, online-only scientific journal, published on behalf of the Society for Conservation Biology. Publishing empirical and theoretical research with significant implications for the conservation of biological diversity, the journal will draw on knowledge, tools and interactions from many disciplines – geography, ecology, evolution, mathematics, economics, psychology, sociology and anthropology among them.

Three types of article are published in Conservation Letters:

  • Letters: novel findings with high relevance for practice or policy
  • Mini-Reviews: overviews of emerging subjects that merit urgent coverage or succinct syntheses of important topics that are rarely encountered in the mainstream literature
  • Policy Perspectives: brief essays for a general audience on issues related to conservation and society
