The Journal of Evolution and Technology is a peer-reviewed electronic journal publishing contemporary research into future science and philosophy, published by the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies.

The journal's original name was the Journal of Transhumanism; it was subsequently renamed to its current title.

The goal of the Journal is to bring transhumanist thought and aspirations into the academic mainstream. That is, while transhumanism is specifically scientific in orientation, it had often been criticised as being a movement of non-scientists in support of certain perceptions of what science should be, a position much alluded to by critics who claimed the movement was out of touch with academic opinion. The Journal of Evolution and Technology, then, is an attempt by academic transhumanists to draw transhumanist ideas into the realm of peer review in order to achieve legitimacy and recognition as a serious avenue of inquiry, and to lay the foundation for a transhumanist institution in the international scientific community.
