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.

鑒于老年人的比例不斷增加，了解衰老和與年齡相關(guān)的疾病的機(jī)制已成為當(dāng)務(wù)之急?！独夏陮W(xué)》是該領(lǐng)域歷史最悠久的期刊，它通過(guò)吸收來(lái)自多個(gè)學(xué)科的專(zhuān)題文章來(lái)支持延長(zhǎng)活躍壽命和提高生活質(zhì)量的基本目標(biāo)，從而滿(mǎn)足了這一需求。論文范圍分為四個(gè)部分。在臨床部分，從老年學(xué)而非老年醫(yī)學(xué)的角度討論了與年齡相關(guān)的疾病的病因、發(fā)病機(jī)制、預(yù)防和治療。實(shí)驗(yàn)部分包含來(lái)自基礎(chǔ)老年學(xué)研究的最新貢獻(xiàn)。涉及行為發(fā)展和相關(guān)主題的論文放在行為科學(xué)部分。不同實(shí)驗(yàn)生物系統(tǒng)以及醫(yī)學(xué)應(yīng)用背景下的再生基本方面在一個(gè)特殊部分中處理，該部分還包含有關(guān)老年人技術(shù)進(jìn)步的信息。 “老年學(xué)”提供了涵蓋人類(lèi)和動(dòng)物衰老各個(gè)方面的高質(zhì)量論文的主要來(lái)源，對(duì)于所有從廣泛角度對(duì)衰老主題感興趣的讀者來(lái)說(shuō)，它是理想的信息工具。

Gerontology創(chuàng)刊于1976年，由S. Karger AG出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋醫(yī)學(xué) - 老年醫(yī)學(xué)全領(lǐng)域，此刊是中等級(jí)別的SCI期刊，所以過(guò)審相對(duì)來(lái)講不是特別難，但是該刊專(zhuān)業(yè)認(rèn)可度不錯(cuò)，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 較慢,6-12周 ，影響因子指數(shù)3.1，該期刊近期沒(méi)有被列入國(guó)際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
