Dear Reader,

This is our final issue of Drugs & Aging for 2017, and as we reflect on another successful year for the journal, we wish to sincerely thank all those who have contributed their time and effort to guarantee the high quality of our content over the last 12 months.

The quality of articles published in the journal was reflected in its most recent impact factor of 2.769 in 2016. Other journals in the Adis Premier Journals Portfolio (http://www.springer.com/gp/adis) also continue to prosper, and this year saw the successful launch of PharmacoEconomics—Open, the newest journal in the portfolio. Following in the steps of our Adis flagship subscription journal in the field, PharmacoEconomics, the new open-access journal focuses on cost and health outcomes associated with drugs, devices and other healthcare interventions.

We thank the many authors who have contributed articles to Drugs & Aging over the course of 2017. Their skill and dedication are critical to the continued publication of the journal. The quality of published articles is also testament to the significant efforts of the many peer reviewers, whose commitment ensures that the journal’s content is held to the highest possible standard. We would therefore like to thank the following individuals who acted as reviewers for Drugs & Aging in the last 12 months:
