Oxford Journals, a division of Oxford University Press (OUP), UK, has announced a new publishing partnership with the Gerontological Society of America (GSA). Under the deal, Oxford Journals will publish three GSA journals from 2009. The journals are: The Gerontologist, and The Journals of Gerontology: Series A Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences and Series B Psychological Sciences and Social Sciences.
First published as one journal in 1946, The Journal of Gerontology was the first journal on ageing to be published in the United States. Over the years, the journal grew tremendously and, in 1961, became three separate publications (Series A Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences, Series B Psychological Sciences and Social Sciences and The Gerontologist). The Journals of Gerontology, Series A and Series B, cover a broad range of approaches. The Gerontologist is a bimonthly journal that provides a multidisciplinary perspective on human ageing through the publication of research and analysis in gerontology, including social policy, program development, and service delivery.
In addition, Oxford Journals will digitise the back archive of The Gerontologist and The Journals of Gerontology. Content dating back to volume one, issue one will be included in the Oxford Journals Archive in 2009.
