STM publisher Elsevier has announced the launch of open access journal Burnout Research. Professor Christina Maslach of the University of Berkeley, California, serves as the Editor-in-Chief of the journal.
Burnout has proven its global significance and impact over the last years, posing major challenges for the society. Not only in the scientific community, but also at a governmental level and within public and private organisations, the significance of the issue is acknowledged and there is a growing interest in and need for developing interventions to reduce prevalence rates. As such, increasing amounts of cross-disciplinary research is being conducted across the globe to gain further understanding of the phenomenon, its symptoms and ways of treatment.
As the first journal dedicated to understanding the causes of burnout and potential solutions to the problem, Burnout Research aims to be a global forum, not only for researchers, but also for those directly or indirectly effected by burnout. Articles published in the journal are published open access. The first issue is now available on ScienceDirect.
