Dear colleagues,
We proudly announce the publication of the first issue of the International
Journal of Ageing and Later Life (IJAL), which is available at
www.ep.liu.se/ej/ijal/ .
The International Journal of Ageing and Later Life (IJAL) serves an audience
interested in social and cultural aspects of ageing and later life
development. The title of the journal reflects an attempt to broaden the
field of ageing studies. In addition to studies on later life, IJAL also
welcomes contributions focusing on adult ageing as well as relations among
generations.
Being an international journal, IJAL acknowledges the need to understand the
cultural diversity and context dependency of ageing and later life. IJAL
accepts country- or cultural-specific studies that do not necessarily
include international comparisons as long as such contributions are
interesting and understandable for an international audience. The Journal
includes a review section, which ensures that readers are kept in touch with
new work and current debate. The books listed in "Books received" are those
sent to the Journal by publishers. Authors of review papers are encouraged
to contact the Book Review Editor before submission. To assure high academic
standard IJAL uses a double blind review process. Submitted papers are read
by the editors and sent to two independent reviewers if judged to fit the
scope of the journal.
In order to stimulate exchange of ideas on ageing across many parts of the
world, IJAL is available free of charge to anyone with Internet access.
We hope that you enjoy reading the first issue and find its contents useful.
On behalf of the editor, Lars Andersson, and the editorial board,
Andreas Hoff
