About the journal
Mechanisms of Ageing and Development
|
Mechanisms of Ageing and Development is a multidisciplinary journal aimed at revealing the biological mechanisms that underlie the process of ageing. Developmental mechanisms which have a clearly defined impact on ageing are also included. Not included are the following: (1) work concerned only with early development; (2) studies on age changes that are purely descriptive and which do not address underlying mechanisms; (3) clinical, psychological or social case studies and reports. Manuscripts in all basic research areas relevant to the aims and scope are welcomed. |

Instructions to Authors
Types of articles
Articles will be published in the following categories: 1. Research papers,, including a Summary of 100-200 words, usually subdivided into sections, e.g. Introduction, Materials and Methods, Experimental Results, Discussion and Conclusions. 2. Short Communication: Short scientific notes, such as useful methods with special application in the science of ageing, brief extensions of previously published work or novel findings that need quick publication, will typically be reviewed within 1-2 weeks. These should not exceed 1,000 words (2-3 printed pages) with a short abstract of about 100 words. The text should be continous and not be subdivided in different sections as the regular articles. 3. Reviews or mini-reviews on existing topics in the science of ageing are typically solicited, or submitted after consultation of one of the editors. 4. Progress Papers illuminating a novel development with potentially high relevance to the science of ageing, are also usually solicited but can be submitted after consulting an editor. 5. Opinions, short challenging papers, like a critique on a long-standing dogma, can be submitted at any time. The editor usually solicits several responses to be published in the same issue following the Opinion paper.
All articles will be peer-reviewed, except Opinion papers, which will be published at the discretion of the editor.
Starting 2001: New Section: Ageing Research Reviews (Editor: Mark P. Mattson)
Aims and Scope As the average human life expectancy has increased, so too has the impact of ageing and age-related disease on our society. Ageing research is now the focus of thousands of laboratories that include leaders in the areas of genetics, molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry, and behaviour. Ageing Research Reviews (ARR) covers the trends in this field. It is designed to fill a large void, namely, a source for critical reviews and viewpoints on emerging findings on mechanisms of ageing and age-related disease. Rapid advances in understanding of mechanisms that control cellular proliferation, differentiation and survival are leading to new insight into the regulation of ageing. From telomerase to stem cells to energy and oxyradical metabolism, this is an exciting new era in the multidisciplinary field of ageing research. The cellular and molecular underpinnings of manipulations that extend lifespan, such as caloric restriction, are being identified and novel approaches for preventing age-related diseases are being developed. ARR publishes articles on focussed topics selected from the broad field of ageing research, with an emphasis on cellular and molecular mechanisms of the ageing process and age-related diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders. Applications of basic ageing research to lifespan extension and disease prevention are also covered in this journal.

Preparation of manuscripts
Manuscripts should be clearly typed on bond paper, double spaced, on one side only, on consecutively numbered pages of uniform size with a wide margin.
Manuscripts printed with low-quality printers will be returned for retyping with an acceptable typeface.
Manuscripts should be written in English.
Title page
The full name of the author(s) academic or professional affiliations, and addresses should be included on the title page. The name and complete address of the person to whom proofs are to be sent must be given. Include Telephone number, Fax number and E-mail address (if available) on the title page.
Abstract
The article should start with an abstract of approximately 100-200 words.
Key words
The list of 3-6 key words necessary for correct indexing and subsequent retrieval must be submitted with the manuscript. In the event that key words are not supplied editorial discretion will be exercised in introducing appropriate words.
Headings
The manuscript should be divided in: 1. Introduction; 2. Materials and methods; 3. Results; 4. Discussion; Acknowledgements; References; Tables; Figure legends and Figures. Both sections and their subdivisions should be numbered (2.1., 2.2., 2.3. etc).
Tables
Tables should be typed in double spacing on separate sheets and each provided with a suitable heading. Tables should be numbered separately in Arabic numerals (Table 1, 2 etc.)
Illustrations
One set of illustrations (clearly numbered) should reach the Editor-in-Chief in a form suitable for direct reproduction. Line drawings should be Indian ink on drawing or tracing paper (letter height 3 - 5 mm). Photographs, including autoradio graphs and electromicrographs, should be submitted as clear black-and-white prints on glossy paper, usually larger than the final size of reproduction. A calibration bar should be drawn on the micrographs instead of giving a magnification rate in the figure legend. Photocopies of original drawings may be submitted with the referees' copies provided that they are clearly legible; photocopies of photographs etc. are not allowed. All illustrations should be accompanied by appropriate legends in double spacing on a separate sheet. Legends to figures should make these comprehensible without reference to the text. All illustrations should be referred to as figures and numbered in Arabic numerals (Fig. 1, 2 etc.). The extra costs of colour reproduction will be charged to the author(s), except if the article is a review article. Reproduction of colour in review articles, if considered functional by the editors, will be free of charge to the authors.
References
All publications cited in the text should be presented in a list of references following the text of the manuscript. The manuscript should be carefully checked to ensure that the spelling of author's names and dates are exactly the same in the text as in the reference list.
In the text refer to the name of the author(s) (without initial) followed by the year of publication. If reference is made in the text to a publication written by more than two authors the name of the first author should be used followed by `et al.'. This indication, however, should never be used in the list of references. In this list names of first author and co-authors should be mentioned. References cited together in the text should be arranged chronologically. The list of references should be arranged alphabetically on author's names, and chronologically per author. If an author's name in the list is also mentioned with co-authors the following order should by used: publications of the single author, arranged according to publication dates - publications of the same author with one co-author - publications of the author with more than one co-author. Publications by the same author(s) in the same year should be listed as 1974a, 1974b, etc.
Use the following system for arranging your references:
a. For periodicals
Paivio. A., Jansen, B., Becker, L.J., 1975. Comparisons through the mind's eye. Cognition 37, 635-647.
b. For edited symposia, special issues, etc. published in a periodical.
Benzie, J.A.H., Ballment, E., Frusher, S., 1993. Genetic structure of Penaeusmonodon in Australia: concordant results from mtDNA and allozymes. In: Gall, G.A.F., Chen, H. (Eds.), Genetics in Aquaculture IV. Proceedings of the Fourth International Symposium, 29 April-3 May 1991, Wuhan, China. Aquaculture, 111, 89-93.
c. For books
Strunk Jr., W., White, E.B., 1979. The Elements of Style, 3rd ed. MacMillan, New York.
d. For multi-author books
Gurman, A.S., Kniskern, D.P., 1981. Family therapy outcome research: knowns and unknowns. In: Gurman, A.S., Kniskern, D.P. (Eds.). Handbook of Family Therapy. Brunner/Maazel, New York, pp. 742-775.
Abbreviate the titles of periodicals mentioned in the list of references according to the International List of Periodical Title Word Abbreviations. In the case of publications in any language other than English, the original title is to be retained. However, the titles of publications in non-Latin alphabets should be transliterated, and a notation such as '(in Russian)' or '(in Greek, with English abstract)' should be added. Work accepted for publication but not yet published should be referred to as 'in press'.
References concerning unpublished data and 'personal communications' should not be cited in the reference list but may be mentioned in the text.
Electronic manuscripts
Electronic manuscripts have the advantage that there is no need for the re-keying of text, thereby avoiding the possibility of introducing errors and resulting in reliable and fast delivery of proofs. The preferred storage medium is a 5 1/4 or 3 1/2 inch disk in MS-DOS format, although other systems are welcome, e.g., NEC and Macintosh (in this case, save your file in the usual manner, do not use the option 'save in MS-DOS format'). Please do not split the article into separate files (title page as one file, text as another, etc.). Ensure that the letter 'l' and digit '1' (also letter 'O' and digit '0') have been used properly, and structure your article (tabs, indents, etc.) consistently. Characters not available on your word processor (Greek letters, mathematical symbols, etc.) should not be left open but indicated by a unique code (e.g., gralpha, @, etc., for the Greek letter a). Such codes should be used consistently throughout the entire text. Please make a list of such codes and provide a key. Do not allow your word processor to introduce word splits and do not use a 'justified' layout.
Please adhere strictly to the general instructions on style/arrangement and, in particular, the reference style of the journal. It is very important that you save your file in the word processor format. If your word processor features the option to save files 'in flat ASCII', please do not use it. Format your disk correctly and ensure that only the relevant file (one complete article only) is on the disk. Also, specify the type of computer and word processing package used and label the disk with your name and the name of the file on the disk.
After final acceptance, your disk plus one, final, printed and exactly matching version (as a printout) should be submitted together to the accepting editor. It is important that the file on disk and the printout are identical. Both will then be forwarded by the editor to Elsevier. Further information may be obtained from the Publisher.
Reprints
Twenty-five (25) reprints of each article are sent to the author(s) free of charge. Additional reprints can be ordered by the author(s) on the reprint order form quoting prices that are sent to the author(s) upon receipt of the article for typesetting.
