E-Letters

Think of E-letters as electronic letters to the editor. They provide an opportunity for readers to respond to any of the articles in the journal. E-letters offer an opportunity for feedback, debate and the promotion of ideas for future articles.

We welcome lively, provocative, stimulating and amusing E-letters on general points of interest, as well as comments on and criticisms of articles previously published in the journal. This correspondence offers an opportunity for feedback, debate and the promotion of ideas for future articles. E-letters should be of no more than 450 words, 5 references, 1 table or figure. E-letters may be edited and some will be featured in the print version of Age and Ageing. The E-letters page is moderated by the editorial team.

Readers should note that the publication of an E-letter does not imply approval or recommendation of its contents by Oxford University Press.
