Journal of Elder Abuse & Neglect-Editor’s Choice

The Journal of Elder Abuse & Neglect (JEAN) is a great resource. It is the official journal of the National Committee for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (NCPEA). The Journal is published 5 times/year by Routledge. If you aren’t familiar with JEAN, the website explains its purpose. It is:

the peer-reviewed journal that explores advances in research, policy and practice, and clinical and ethical issues surrounding the abuse, neglect and exploitation of older people. This unique forum provides state-of-the-art research and practice that is both international and multidisciplinary in scope. The journal’s broad, comprehensive approach is only one of its strengths — it presents research case studies, practice and policy issues, exploratory studies, commentary, and reviews on a wide range of topics designed to increase the knowledge base of scholars and professionals.

Recently JEAN’s “editors’ choice” article collection was posted online with free access! According to the website, “[t]hese articles were selected by the Journal of Elder Abuse & Neglect Editorial staff – Editor-in-Chief Karen Stein, PhD. and Associate Editor Sharon Merriman-Nai, MC – as key research to the field. Routledge Journals is pleased to offer FREE ACCESS to these articles until December 31, 2015.”  Subscription information is available here.
