.cb Announcing %2Science and Technology Opinion%1

	%2Science and Technology Opinion%1 is a new journal dedicated
to developing public opinion in the science and technology
communities.  It will be edited and written by scientists and engineers rather
than by journalists.  Submissions of articles and letters on
public issues related to science and technology are solicited.
A certain amount of commentary by scientists and technologists
on general public issues even where science is not explicitly
involved will also be published.

	The editors will normally decide themselves whether an article
will be published, but referees will be used when it seems appropriate
to the editors or is requested by an author.

	The editors hope to achieve a higher standard of objectivity and
fairness than is usual in general publications and will not hesitate
to require changes in articles if required for this.  Authors are expected
to try to make their articles comprehensible to a wide audience, but
technical material is welcome when relevant.
