Frontiers in Medicine: New Leadership for the Geriatric Medicine Specialty Section

We are pleased to announce the new Specialty Chief Editor of the Geriatric Medicine section of Frontiers in Medicine – Dr. Tzvi Dwolatzky, who is also the President of the Israel Geriatric Society. Dr. Dwolatzky is Director of Geriatric Services at Rambam Medical Center, Haifa, and Associate Professor of Geriatrics at the Rappaport Faculty of Medicine, Technion – Israel Institute of Health Sciences. He has made important scientific contributions to various aspects of aging and common geriatric conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, frailty and longevity. In recent years, there has been increasing awareness of the issues that arise as a result of the growing and aging world population and its implications for healthcare, workforce, economy, social insurance and changing family structures. Increasing life expectancy poses new challenges to medicine and healthcare, emphasizing the need to find better approaches to cope with chronic noncommunicable diseases, currently being the major cause of death for the elderly. Given recent reported trends of unprecedented, pervasive and enduring aging of the world population, it is of utmost importance to improve and advance geriatric medicine. Dr. Dwolatzky emphasizes: “Geriatrics must become a vibrant field of medicine in order to meet the demographic challenges of […]

Frontiers’ Editors recognized in Japan Research Front Awards 2016

Two Frontiers’ Editors are part of the awardees in the Japan Research Front Awards, organized by the Intellectual Property & Science (IP & Science) business of Thomson Reuters. Dr. Kenji Watanabe and Professor Hiromu Tanimoto were recognized as being at the forefront of research in materials science and neuroscience. The awards were identified after the scientists’ research was analyzed using Research Front Methodology by IP & Science to assess their level of influence in specific scientific fields and the Web of Science Core Collection. Research Front Methodology looks at patterns of intense communication between scientists and such patterns can be used to create a picture of the state of a specific research area in terms of the papers that constitute its core of foundational work. Research Front Methodology is based on the top one percent of the most Highly Cited Papers in each of the 22 specific fields of research or disciplines in the Essential Science Indicators™ (ESI). The Frontiers’ Editors worked on two of the eight research fronts where Japanese scientists have had the greatest world-class influence: Material Science Dr. Kenji Watanabe is the Review Editor for Frontiers in Gastroenterology. He is the Chief Researcher, Electroceramics Group, […]
