New Online Aging Research Translator (ART)
Cornell Institute for Translational Research on Aging (Cornell
University) has announced the availability of the Aging Research
Translator (http://www.agingresearchtranslator.com/blog.php).
The Aging Research Translator (ART) website has been designed with
community-based practitioners in mind, by offering non-technical
summaries of aging research published in peer-reviewed academic
journals. Community-based practitioners are the largest group of
potential users of aging-related research, and the people most
likely to apply the aging knowledge-base to the lives of real
people. However, the location of research in university libraries
and databases makes it difficult to access. Furthermore, the overly
technical language of research articles can be an impediment. The
ART website, developed by Cornell University researchers, attempts
to address these challenges by posting summaries of aging research
literature using non-technical language.
ART is a blog where we post new aging research summaries every other
week. Summaries are posted chronologically and can also be viewed
according to topical categories. Readers are invited to write
comments after each post (all comments need to be approved by the
blog administrator before being listed). Please join us on the ART!
