Call for papers for Healthy Aging and Clinical Care in the Elderly from Dr David Simar

Dear Colleagues,

It is my great pleasure to invite you for submission of your recent work for publication in
Healthy Aging and Clinical Care in the Elderly—a new peer reviewed open access journal published by Libertas Academica.

The global aging of the population and the increasing prevalence of associated conditions has raised the need to develop a better understanding of the related mechanisms as well as a better diffusion of the scientific information not only to health professionals but also the general population.

As an open access journal, Healthy Aging and Clinical Care in the Elderly, gives you the unique opportunity to share your results with all internet users without any restriction, providing your fellow colleagues as well as the general community with a direct access to your work. This ensures a fast and efficient diffusion of your scientific contribution to a large number of readers, from scientists to patients.

The focus of the journal not only covers fundamental and clinical aspects of aging in healthy and clinical populations, but also strategies to improve the care of older adults. This offers a unique opportunity to report on translational approaches investigating from the molecular to the whole body level, mechanisms in the aging process or in the prevention of disorders associated with it.
Manuscripts submitted to Healthy Aging and Clinical Care in the Elderly are reviewed through a fair and constructive process by leading experts in the field of aging (from molecular to whole body level). This guarantees high quality publications in a timely manner, more than 90% of the submitted manuscripts being reviewed within 2 weeks.

I encourage you to take full advantage of this great opportunity that is offered to you and to submit your work for publication in Healthy Aging and Clinical Care in the Elderly.

Aims and scope:

Healthy Aging and Clinical Care in the Elderly is a journal that publishes papers in basic and clinical aspects of aging, health and care of the elderly, and age-related disorders.

What a previous author said:

"The publishing process of this journal was a most pleasant and productive experience. I was particularly impressed with the regular updates of the progress of my submission. Many other journals receive a submission and authors may not hear anything for months. I appreciate your notification policy."

In summary:

The advantages of a younger journal such as Healthy Aging and Clinical Care in the Elderly are numerous but in essence allow us a greater flexibility and responsiveness to authors and readers that older journals cannot match.
