Gerontology

Journal Title：Gerontology

In view of the ever-increasing fraction of elderly people, understanding the mechanisms of aging and age-related diseases has become a matter of urgent necessity. 'Gerontology', the oldest journal in the field, responds to this need by drawing topical contributions from multiple disciplines to support the fundamental goals of extending active life and enhancing its quality. The range of papers is classified into four sections. In the Clinical Section, the aetiology, pathogenesis, prevention and treatment of agerelated diseases are discussed from a gerontological rather than a geriatric viewpoint. The Experimental Section contains up-to-date contributions from basic gerontological research. Papers dealing with behavioural development and related topics are placed in the Behavioural Science Section. Basic aspects of regeneration in different experimental biological systems as well as in the context of medical applications are dealt with in a special section that also contains information on technological advances for the elderly. Providing a primary source of high-quality papers covering all aspects of aging in humans and animals, 'Gerontology' serves as an ideal information tool for all readers interested in the topic of aging from a broad perspective.

鉴于老年人的比例不断增加，了解衰老和与年龄相关的疾病的机制已成为当务之急。《老年学》是该领域历史最悠久的期刊，它通过吸收来自多个学科的专题文章来支持延长活跃寿命和提高生活质量的基本目标，从而满足了这一需求。论文范围分为四个部分。在临床部分，从老年学而非老年医学的角度讨论了与年龄相关的疾病的病因、发病机制、预防和治疗。实验部分包含来自基础老年学研究的最新贡献。涉及行为发展和相关主题的论文放在行为科学部分。不同实验生物系统以及医学应用背景下的再生基本方面在一个特殊部分中处理，该部分还包含有关老年人技术进步的信息。 “老年学”提供了涵盖人类和动物衰老各个方面的高质量论文的主要来源，对于所有从广泛角度对衰老主题感兴趣的读者来说，它是理想的信息工具。

Gerontology创刊于1976年，由S. Karger AG出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖医学 - 老年医学全领域，此刊是中等级别的SCI期刊，所以过审相对来讲不是特别难，但是该刊专业认可度不错，仍然是一本值得选择的SCI期刊 。平均审稿速度 较慢,6-12周 ，影响因子指数3.1，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
