I'm pleased to announce the launch of Healthy Aging and Clinical Care in the Elderly, an open access peer reviewed journal published by Libertas Academica. The journal is fortunate to have the support of an excellent Editor in Chief, Dr David Simar, and an internationally respected editorial board. An interview with the Editor in Chief was published in this blog today.

It is my great pleasure to announce the launch of Healthy Aging and Clinical Care in the Elderly, a new peer-reviewed open-access journal published by Libertas Academica. I am very enthusiastic about this new challenge and consider it very stimulating to try to improve the level of diffusion of scientific literature.

I think the release of this new journal is particularly timely considering the current context of “global aging” of the population and the always increasing importance of the research in the field of aging. This has generated a real need for an efficient and quick way to diffuse high quality scientific research to the largest audience to allow a better translation of research findings into clinical practice. Achieving this will definitely contribute in a better care of the aging population through the development of novel preventive and therapeutic strategies based on experimental data.

I am convinced that this journal will be soon as well regarded as existing subscription-based journals and that scientists will realise the great opportunity that giving access in a quick and efficient way to their results to the largest audience represents. By doing so, this journal will contribute to provide a better access to research findings not only to the scientific community but also to all professionals involved in the care of the elderly.

Libertas Academica looks forward to working with the journal's Editor in Chief, editorial board and authors and readers.
