Dear Reader,

As we approach the end of 2016, and publish our final issue of Drugs & Aging for the year, I wish to reflect on another successful year for the journal and to thank all who have contributed to Drugs & Aging over the past 12 months.

Mid-2016 saw the release of the ISI Journal Citation Reports and the latest journal impact factors, with the majority of our journals in the Adis Premier portfolio seeing a rise in impact factor against the previous year. Those with the most significant increases this year were The Patient, Clinical Drug Investigation, the American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, Drug Safety, and Drugs.

An important milestone was reached for our recently launched open access journals, Drug Safety—Case Reports and Drugs—Real World Outcomes, with content from both of these journals now available on PubMed Central. In 2017, the Adis journals portfolio will further expand with the launch of PharmacoEconomics—Open. This new journal will be fully open access and will focus on the publication of applied research on the economic implications and health outcomes associated with drugs, devices and other healthcare interventions. It joins our other well respected health outcomes publications, PharmacoEconomics, Applied Health Economics and Health Policy, and The Patient: Patient-Centered Outcomes Research.

Drugs & Aging has published 87 articles in 2016 issues, more than this online. The journal’s Section Editors and I offer our sincere thanks to all authors who have contributed articles to Drugs & Aging over the course of 2016. Their skill and dedication are critical to the continued publication of the journal. The quality of published articles is, similarly, testament to the significant efforts of the peer reviewers, whose commitment ensures that the journal’s content is held to the highest possible standard. Accordingly, we would like to thank the following individuals who acted as reviewers for Drugs & Aging in the last 12 months:
