Age and Ageing: bigger and better!
The journal is pleased to announce that we are increasing the size limits for most of our article categories.
This relaxation will better meet the needs of authors and allow them more space to report their work. We are pleased to be able to accommodate larger articles, which would not have been possible without our move to online-only publication.
We hope that our readers and authors will appreciate the longer and more detailed articles in Age and Ageing journal.
