  • Journal of Aging Studies
    JOURNAL OF AGING STUDIES AUTHOR INFORMATION PACK TABLE OF CONTENTS XXX . • Description p.1 • Impact Factor p.1 • Abstracting and Indexing p.1 • Editorial Board p.2 • Guide for Authors p.3 ISSN: 0890-4065 DESCRIPTION . The Journal of Aging Studies features scholarly articles offering theoretically engaged interpretations that challenge existing theory and empirical work. Articles need not deal with the field of aging as a whole, but with any defensibly relevant topic pertinent to the aging experience and related to the broad concerns and subject matter of the social and behavioral sciences and the humanities. The journal emphasizes innovation and critique - new directions in general - regardless of theoretical or methodological orientation or academic discipline. Potential contributors are strongly advised to consult recent issues of the Journal for examples of articles that fit this mission. Further information for authors. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in both higher rates of submissions to JAS and much lower reviewer acceptance rates. In light of this, we ask two things of the community. First, patience with the longer lag time from submission to notification and reviewer comments. Second, if you submit a manuscript for consideration, then we hope you will do your part if asked to review for us in the future. Thank you for your understanding and help in ensuring the peer-review process continues as efficiently and robustly as possible in these trying times.

  • Evidence Portfolio, Aging Subcommittee, Physical Function
    Evidence Portfolio – Aging Subcommittee, Question 2 What is the relationship between physical activity and physical function among the general aging population? a. Is there a dose-response relationship? If yes, what is the shape of the relationship? b. Does the relationship vary by age, sex, race/ethnicity, socio-economic status, or weight status? c. What type(s) of physical activity are effective for improving or maintaining physical function? d. What impairment(s) modify the relationship between physical activity and physical function among the general aging population? Sources of Evidence: Existing Systematic Reviews, Meta-Analyses, and Pooled Analysis Conclusion Statements and Grades Strong evidence demonstrates that physical activity improves physical function and reduces risk of age- related loss of physical function in the general aging population. PAGAC Grade: Strong. Strong evidence demonstrates an inverse dose-response relationship between volume of aerobic physical activity and risk of physical functional limitations in the general aging population. PAGAC Grade: Strong. Limited evidence suggests an inverse dose-response relationship of volume of muscle-strengthening and frequency of balance training with risk of physical functional limitations in the general aging population. PAGAC Grade: Limited. Limited evidence suggests that the relationship between physical activity and physical function does not vary by age, sex, or weight status in the general population of older adults. PAGAC Grade: Limited. Insufficient evidence is available to determine whether the relationship between physical activity and physical function varies by race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status in the general population of older adults. PAGAC Grade: Not assignable. Strong evidence demonstrates that aerobic, muscle-strengthening, and multicomponent physical activity improves physical function in the general aging population.

  • Ageing Research Reviews
    AGEING RESEARCH REVIEWS AUTHOR INFORMATION PACK TABLE OF CONTENTS XXX . • Description p.1 • Audience p.1 • Impact Factor p.1 • Abstracting and Indexing p.1 • Editorial Board p.2 • Guide for Authors p.4 ISSN: 1568-1637 DESCRIPTION . As the average human life expectancy has increased, so too has the impact of ageing and age- related disease on our society. Ageing research is now the focus of thousands of laboratories that include leaders in the areas of genetics, molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry, and behaviour. Ageing Research Reviews (ARR) covers the trends in this field. It is designed to fill a large void, namely, a source for critical reviews and viewpoints on emerging findings on mechanisms of ageing and age- related disease. Rapid advances in understanding of mechanisms that control cellular proliferation, differentiation and survival are leading to new insight into the regulation of ageing. From telomerase to stem cells to energy and oxyradical metabolism, this is an exciting new era in the multidisciplinary field of ageing research. The cellular and molecular underpinnings of manipulations that extend lifespan, such as caloric restriction, are being identified and novel approaches for preventing age-related diseases are being developed. ARR publishes articles on focussed topics selected from the broad field of ageing research, with an emphasis on cellular and molecular mechanisms of the aging process and age-related diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders. Applications of basic ageing research to lifespan extension and disease prevention are also covered in this journal. AUDIENCE . All scientists interested in the biology of Ageing IMPACT FACTOR .

The copyright holder for this preprint (which was not certified by peer review) is the author/funder, who has granted medRxiv a license to display the preprint in perpetuity. It is made available under a CC-BY-ND 4.0 International license . Article Journals in Aging, Geriatrics, and Gerontology: A Survey Robert J. Wolff 1 and Hannah L. Bowser 2 1 Professor of Science and Health Science, South University; [email protected] 2 Virtual Services Librarian, New Hanover County Public Library; [email protected] Abstract: Aging, geriatrics, gerontology, and related areas are important areas of research as the population of older people increases in relationship to the total population. Researchers in these fields would benefit from guidance regarding sources for publishing and finding relevant scholarly journals and articles. Multiple database sites of journals were searched to provide a list of relevant publications. This list was expanded via perusal of published citation lists and searches in general search engines. A total of 243 journals were identified and examined. Of those journals, 198 journals are currently publishing and 45 journals have ceased publication. In terms of publication medium, 39% of the currently publishing journals are online-only, 4% are print-only and 59% of the journals publish both online and in print. Journals with aging in the title represent 36%, geriatrics 30% and gerontology 23%. Less than 10% have been identified as predatory journals. An expected increase in journals in the broad field of aging is indicated by the 49% of listed titles beginning in 2000 or later.
