Dear Reader

In this the final issue of Drugs & Aging for 2014, the editors and production staff would like to take the opportunity to reflect on all that has been achieved in the last 12 months and to thank the people who have given their time and expertise to ensure that we continue to bring you world-class content.

We are pleased to advise you of a number of positive developments involving the Adis portfolio in 2014. This year saw the Adis journals portfolio increase in size with the transfer of a number of existing Springer journals into the portfolio. In addition, we launched two new fully open access titles: Drugs - Real World Outcomes targets research involving the use of real-world data to evaluate health outcomes and inform healthcare decision-making; and Drug Safety - Case Reports publishes reports of any unintended or adverse effects following administration of a medicinal product, as well as cases involving ‘near misses’ or a lack of drug efficacy. Also, the first six titles to be commissioned under our new Adis Books programme will have been published by year end and we are developing a robust pipeline of new titles, involving top authors from around the globe. We have appreciated the many topical proposals submitted to date.

As another year draws to a close, we would like to express our appreciation to all the authors who have contributed articles to Drugs & Aging. Without their expertise and hard work we would not have been able to publish the journal. The quality of published articles also reflects the significant time and effort invested by the peer reviewers, whose dedication ensures that we continue to publish content of the highest possible standard. In addition to the members of our Honorary Editorial Board, we would like to thank the following individuals who acted as reviewers for articles published in Drugs & Aging in 2014:
