The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI)
Citable outputs of Biotechnology and Biosecurity: biosecurity method primers; biotechnology case studies; responsible R&D.
Biotechnology and Biosecurity publications are the platform's reviewed, citable outputs, such as biosecurity method primers, biotechnology case studies and responsible R&D. Each carries its authors, date, method, evidence labels and editorial status, and a correction creates a new version with its history. Contributions to series such as Exponential Technology and Evidence Brief also appear in Nexus Reports.

For research and publications, in GCRI's spatial-intelligence reading, the map opens on true-colour imagery, land cover and crop greenness with true colour from NASA GIBS, framed on West Africa; 3 further NASA layers wait in the list.
The interactive map needs JavaScript; the layer list and sources are below.

Publications here are policy-level briefs and oversight notes for regulators, research institutions and preparedness planners. A reader looks for how oversight bodies work, where capacity gaps lie and what governance options exist. They contain no technical biological detail and connect to the platform's capacity work using epidemiology and process safety.
Publications are policy-level briefs and oversight notes.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Version of record | The fixed version of a work that a publisher formally declares published; later changes appear as dated corrections or new versions, never as silent edits, in the sense NISO's journal article versions recommendation uses. |
| Peer review | Evaluation of a work by independent experts in the field before publication. |
| Correction | A published notice that amends an error in a work whose main findings stand. |
| Evidence label | A tag on an assertion naming the kind of evidence behind it, such as observed, officially reported or modelled. |

The current service level is R0: information and enquiries. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
