Aims & Scope

Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine (GGM) is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed open access journal where scholars from a variety of disciplines present their work focusing on the psychological, behavioral, social, and biological aspects of aging, and public health services and research related to aging.

The journal addresses a wide variety of topics related to health services research in gerontology and geriatrics.

GGM seeks to be one of the world’s premier Open Access outlets for gerontological academic research.

As such, GGM does not limit content due to page budgets or thematic significance.

Papers will be subjected to rigorous peer review but will be selected solely on the basis of whether the research is sound and deserves publication.

By virtue of not restricting papers to a narrow discipline, GGM facilitates the discovery of the connections between papers.
