An inaugural editorial for Systems Aging

With this very first Editorial, we would like to introduce a new actor in the field of aging research and communication. This new actor is Systems Aging, an open access peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing aging research through the use of computational and systems biology. It is published by Ephyra Publishing, a small new publisher intending to spread knowledge and attract interest to aging research, targeting both scholarly and general audiences. We hereafter describe the scientific scope of Systems Aging, its target authors and readers, as well as its editorial processes. We sincerely believe that the scope and values of Systems Aging, grounded in goal-oriented pluridisciplinarity, reproducibility and epistemology, will lay the foundations for sharing both exciting and rigorous research.
