2. AIMS AND SCOPE
The ultimate aim of the subject area of gerodontology is to improve the quality of life and oral health of older people. Gerodontology fills the particular place of serving this subject area. The boundaries of most conventional dental specialties must be repeatedly crossed to provide optimal dental care for older people. Furthermore, management of other health problems impacts on their dental care and clinicians need knowledge in these numerous overlapping areas. Bringing together these diverse topics within one journal serves clinicians who have not time to scan many journals and it serves authors whose papers would therefore fail to access their target readership. The juxtaposition of papers from different specialties but sharing this patient-centered interest provides a synergy that serves progress in the subject of gerodontology.

Authorship and Acknowledgements:Gerodontology adheres to the definition of authorship set up by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE). According to the ICMJE criteria, authorship should be based on (1) substantial contributions to conception and design of, or acquisition of data or analysis and interpretation of data, (2) drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content and (3) final approval of the version to be published. Authors should meet conditions 1, 2 and 3. Contributors who have made substantive contributions but who do not qualify as authors should be mentioned under Acknowledgements. The letter of submission to the editor must identify the contributions made by each author to the three conditions, and state that each author approves of the submission.
Language: The language of publication is English. Authors for whom English is a second language may choose to have their manuscript professionally edited by an English speaking person before submission to make sure the English is of high quality.

All services are paid for and arranged by the author, and use of one of these services does not guarantee acceptance or preference for publication

All references should be numbered consecutively in order of appearance and should be as complete as possible.
