Where your research can fit
JARH is broad within the aging field. A manuscript should connect its question and evidence to older adults, aging processes, caregiving, care delivery, or the systems that shape aging outcomes.
-
Biology of agingMechanisms, biomarkers, and translational geroscience
Research that makes a clear contribution to understanding biological aging and its implications for health.
-
Clinical careGeriatrics, function, and rehabilitation
Studies of geriatric care, multimorbidity, medication, mobility, recovery, and outcomes that matter to older adults.
-
People and communitiesCognition, mental health, and participation
Evidence on cognitive aging, neurodegenerative conditions, mental health, social connection, caregiving, and participation.
-
Care and supportServices around the person
Work on long-term care, caregiver support, community care, and the implementation of evidence in real settings.
-
Systems and policyEquity, access, and ageing-care systems
Research that explains how policy, workforce, access, or service design affects older adults and ageing-care systems.
