Abstract

Science is the flagship journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). The journal is highly competitive, publishing manuscripts that demonstrate significant innovations in their methods or results that significantly advance scientific understanding. Science:
• developed its dual-use research risk management processes in response to a high-profile debate over its publication of an H5N1 influenza gain-of-function experiment.
• piloted a Materials, Design, Analysis, and Reporting framework and checklist, which included a field for authors to report whether their experiments are subject to dual-use research of concern (DURC) oversight.
• mitigates risks by communicating in its articles whether research received additional dual-use oversight or involved additional biosafety and biosecurity safeguards.
• relies on the individual expertise of its reviewing editors and a small network of peers when making dual-use review decisions.
