As mentioned in our Mission Statement, Gerontology is not only the oldest journal in the field (founded in 1957 by F. Verzár and published by Karger Publishers) but also the one with the broadest scope. After my taking over the task of an Editor-in-Chief, 4 sections were established into which incoming manuscripts could be classified, i.e., (1) Clinical, (2) Experimental, (3) Behavioural, and (4) Regeneration and Technology. Three expert editors are responsible for each of these sections.

In recent times, it became clear that the fourth section should now be divided into a separate regenerative and technological part. So, starting immediately, the Editor-in-Chief will arrange appropriate high-quality manuscripts directly into one of these new sections. Authors should indicate the category they wish their article to be considered for. The Editor-in-Chief reserves the right to arrange the submitted manuscripts into one of the 5 sections.

I am sure that this further expansion will add additional attractiveness for the authors and the broad readership of Gerontology.
