Today Oxford Journals and The Gerontological Society of America (GSA) announced a new publishing partnership for GSA's three journals: The Gerontologist, and The Journals of Gerontology: Series A Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences and Series B Psychological Sciences and Social Sciences.

Oxford Journals will be publishing the three GSA journals from 2009. First published as one journal in 1946, The Journal of Gerontology was the first journal on ageing to be published in the United States. Over the years, the journal grew tremendously and, in 1961, became three separate publications (Series A Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences, Series B Psychological Sciences and Social Sciences, and The Gerontologist). The Journals of Gerontology, Series A and Series B, cover a broad range of approaches. The Gerontologist is a bimonthly journal that provides a multidisciplinary perspective on human ageing through the publication of research and analysis in gerontology, including social policy, program development, and service delivery.

Both readers and librarians will be pleased to know that Oxford Journals is digitizing the back archive of The Gerontologist and The Journals of Gerontology. Content dating back to volume one, issue one will be included in the Oxford Journals Archive in 2009.

The Gerontologist and The Journals of Gerontology join Oxford Journals' prestigious collection of journals which is strong in social sciences, medicine, biological sciences, and public health, and includes complementary titles in the field of ageing. According to the recent 2007 Journal Citation Reports, one fifth of this collection is in the top 10% and over two thirds in the top 50% of their subject category.

Oxford Journals, a Division of OUP, publishes over 220 journals covering a broad range of subject areas, two-thirds of which are published in collaboration with learned societies and other international organizations. The collection contains some of the world's most prestigious titles, including Nucleic Acids Research, JNCI (Journal of the National Cancer Institute), Brain, Human Reproduction, English Historical Review, and the Review of Financial Studies.
