Aging (journal)
Aging is a peer-reviewed, open-access scientific journal focusing on research related to the biology of aging and age-related diseases. The journal publishes original research papers, reviews, editorials, and other content relevant to the field. Its scope encompasses a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:
- Cellular senescence
- Molecular mechanisms of aging
- Age-related diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, cancer, and cardiovascular disease
- Interventions to slow aging, such as caloric restriction, exercise, and pharmacological approaches
- Genetics of aging
- Gerontology and geriatrics
- Stem cell aging
- Immunosenescence
The journal aims to provide a platform for researchers to disseminate their findings and contribute to the understanding of the aging process and the development of interventions to promote healthy aging. Aging is indexed in major databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. The journal's impact factor, a measure of the frequency with which the average article in a journal has been cited in a particular year, is a common metric used to assess its relative importance within the field. Specific impact factor values vary year to year and can be found on the journal's website or through journal indexing databases.
