Conditions of Use and Citation
senescence.info is an informational, non-commercial website. You may use its contents for non-commercial purposes that classify as "fair use," such as personal, educational, and research purposes, provided you cite senescence.info in subsequent presentations, publications, etc. To cite senescence.info:
de Magalhaes, J. P., 1997-2018, senescence.info: http://www.senescence.info
Although some of the essays in senescence.info have been published in academic journals, senescence.info is not a peer-reviewed website. In the case of essays based on academic papers, please cite them by quoting the journal where they were originally published rather than citing senescence.info. PDF reprints of most papers are available on my lab's website and on request. For a general citation on the biology of aging please cite my primer on the biology of aging chapter which is largely based on, but more succinct than, senescence.info:
de Magalhaes, J. P. (2011). "The Biology of Ageing: A Primer." In: An Introduction to Gerontology, Stuart-Hamilton, I. (ed.). Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, UK, 21-47.
In no event shall you, the user, commercialize contents or information from senescence.info without prior written consent from João Pedro de Magalhães, the copyright holder.

I take great care to ensure that the content of senescence.info does not infringe copyright laws--or any other laws, for that matter--nor that I take credit for the work of others. senescence.info does contain copyrighted material, the use of which has not always been specifically authorised by the copyright owner.
