Journals of Gerontology Series a-Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences

The Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences is a premier, peer-reviewed publication dedicated to advancing the understanding of aging across both biological and clinical domains. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of The Gerontological Society of America, the journal serves as a vital conduit for high-impact research that bridges fundamental mechanisms of aging with their practical applications in human health. Its scope encompasses a broad spectrum, from molecular and cellular biology, genetics, and physiology of aging to clinical investigations into age-related diseases, geriatric pharmacology, and interventions that promote healthy longevity. The journal features a range of article types, including original research articles, brief reports, review articles, and special focus sections that consolidate knowledge on critical topics. The target audience is interdisciplinary, comprising basic scientists, clinical researchers, geriatricians, epidemiologists, and other healthcare professionals dedicated to the science of aging. A notable feature is its dual-track structure, with distinct sections for Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences, ensuring that both fundamental discoveries and translational findings receive rigorous, specialized scrutiny. While the journal is not fully open access, it offers an open access option for authors, and many articles become freely accessible after an embargo period. With a 2026 Impact Factor of 4.600, it holds a distinguished position in the Q1 quartile of its category, reflecting its consistent influence and high citation impact. This standing, combined with its rigorous editorial standards and long-established reputation, makes it a leading forum for authoritative research that shapes the future of gerontology and geriatric medicine.
