Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging to be published by Springer As of January 2009, the Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging (JNHA) will be listed in the journals catalogue of the scientific publisher Springer. A forward-looking editorial policy has allowed for dynamic development of the journal since it was founded in 1997. This year for the first time, it was included in the International Science Index (ISI) and was given a remarkable opening impact factor of 1.47. The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging publishes high-quality scientific articles, mainly on the interaction between nutrition and health in the aging process. The editors of JNHA aim to present the latest scientific findings on the fundamental importance of nutrition during aging. The journal is published ten times a year in English and targets researchers and clinicians. The partnership with Springer from 2009 should help JNHA become more visible, particularly on the international stage, since all the articles will be available on its electronic platform www.SpringerLink.com. The JNHA is an official journal of several scientific associations: the International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics (IAGG), the European Union Geriatric Medicine Society (EUGMS) and the International Academy of Nutrition and Aging (IANA). The abstracts of the 19th IAGG World Congress of Gerontology and Geriatrics will be published in the JNHA.
