SLLS has close ties with the international journal Longitudinal & Life Course Studies. In spring 2012 the Society will take over responsibility for the journal, following the end of the grant from the Nuffield Foundation which has supported the journal since its initiation. We have been successful in obtaining generous co-sponsorship from the Department of Psychiatric Methodology, Free University (VU), Amsterdam and the Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER), University of Essex. The remainder of the funding for the journal will come from Society membership fees and, regrettably, later next year small journal annual registration charges (£20 or its Euro or Dollar equivalent) for non-members of the Society. We therefore particularly appreciate your ongoing support. The journal will remain entirely free and open access to members of SLLS. The January issue of the journal will contain all the abstracts from the Bielefeld conference.
