Editorial

Abstract

It is an honor and privilege to assume the editorship of Activities, Adaptation & Aging (AAA), one of the leading and oldest international journals within the field of gerontology. Since its inception in 1981, AAA has served as a professional outlet for research on the development and implications of activities on quality of life and life satisfaction for older adults. Our job as the new Editors in Chief of AAA is to build on the journal’s legacy. We also aim to be current and international in content. Thus, we welcome enquiries for special issue proposals and submissions that will help us to achieve our aims. Moving forward, we wish to build on our inaugural editorial and bring AAA to life with a continuous stream of editorials. We view editorials as a useful vehicle to shape the future of AAA, and to share our views as editors on where the field should be heading. Our editorials will also be open access as part of our commitment to democratize knowledge. Finally, we wish to convey our deepest appreciation to Taylor and Francis for the opportunity to lead AAA, and to thank Linnea M. Couture for her immense contributions to AAA since its inception. Linnea will be accorded the status ‘Editor Emeritus’ to commemorate her stewardship of the journal.
