STM publisher Springer, Germany, has signed an agreement with the British Society for Research on Ageing (BSRA) to enter into an affiliation with the journal Biogerontology for an initial period of three years. Under the deal, the society will appoint one member of the Biogerontology editorial board and will acquire articles for one themed issue annually. Springer will sponsor the society and provide society members with free electronic access to Biogerontology on www.springerlink.com.
Biogerontology offers a platform for research which aims primarily at achieving healthy old age accompanied by improved longevity. The focus is on efforts to understand, prevent, cure or minimise age-related impairments. The journal publishes original research reports, reviews, hypotheses, new methods, interviews and special issues on topics relating to ageing, health and longevity. Suresh I.S. Rattan of the University of Aarhus in Denmark is the Editor-in-Chief of the journal.
The BSRA promotes research to understand causes and effects of the ageing process. The general aim of the society is to foster an experimental approach to problems of ageing in the biological and medical sciences and to provide a forum for the discussion of current ideas in these two areas.
