Bulletin of The Atomic Scientists

期刊简介：The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists engages science leaders, policy makers, and the interested public on topics of nuclear weapons and disarmament, climate change, growing energy demands, and disruptive technologies. It has been published continuously since 1945, when it was founded by former Manhattan Project physicists after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists of Chicago . One of the driving forces behind the creation of the Bulletin was the amount of public interest surrounding atomic energy at the dawn of the atomic age. To convey the particular peril posed by nuclear weapons, the Bulletin devised the Doomsday Clock in 1947. The Doomsday Clock appeared on the Bulletin’s first cover when it transitioned from a newsletter to a magazine. Its original setting was seven minutes to midnight. The Clock, now set at two minutes to midnight, is recognized as a universal symbol of threats to humanity from a variety of sources: nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction, climate change, and disruptive technologies. In 2007 the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists won the National Magazine Award for General Excellence, the magazine industry equivalent of an Oscar for Best Picture. The Bulletin also was named one of four 2009 finalists for the Lumity Technology Leadership Award, presented by Accenture to a nonprofit organization that is effectively applying innovative technologies. Today, the Bulletin supplements its cutting-edge journalism with interactive infographics and videos and amplifies its messages through social media platforms. It can be found in over 15,000 leading institutions across the globe. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor. Although the Bulletin does not undertake a formal peer review process, unsolicited articles that are found suitable for further consideration are sent to members of our expert network for their assessment.

【译文】《原子科学家公报》让科学领袖、政策制定者和感兴趣的公众就核武器和裁军、气候变化、不断增长的能源需求和颠覆性技术等话题进行交流。自1945年广岛和长崎原子弹爆炸后由前曼哈顿计划物理学家创办的《芝加哥原子科学家公报》以来，该刊一直持续出版。创建该公报的推动力之一是原子时代初期公众对原子能的兴趣。为了传达核武器带来的特殊危险，《公报》于 1947 年设计了世界末日时钟。当《公报》从时事通讯转变为杂志时，世界末日时钟出现在《公报》的第一个封面上。它最初的设置是距离午夜还有七分钟。现在距午夜还有两分钟的时钟被认为是人类受到各种威胁的普遍象征：核武器和其他大规模杀伤性武器、气候变化和颠覆性技术。 2007 年，《原子科学家公报》荣获国家杂志一般优秀奖，该杂志行业相当于奥斯卡最佳影片奖。该公告还被提名为 2009 年 Lumity 技术领导奖四名决赛入围者之一，该奖由埃森哲颁发给一家有效应用创新技术的非营利组织。如今，《公报》通过交互式信息图表和视频补充了其尖端新闻报道，并通过社交媒体平台放大了其信息。全球超过 15,000 家领先机构均设有该服务。所有提交的手稿均需经过编辑的初步评估。尽管该公告不进行正式的同行评审过程，但那些适合进一步考虑的主动提供的文章将发送给我们的专家网络成员进行评估。
