INTERNATIONAL PSYCHOGERIATRICS

International Psychogeriatrics (ISSN 1041-6102) is a peer-reviewed, monthly academic journal published by Cambridge University Press in the United Kingdom, serving as a premier platform for research on mental health and behavioral disorders in older adults. The journal publishes high-quality clinical and basic science investigations into a broad spectrum of topics, including geriatric psychiatry, cognitive impairment, dementia, depression, and related psychological conditions, with a distinct emphasis on cross-cultural and international perspectives. By integrating multidisciplinary approaches to the diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and care of age-related mental health issues, it fosters rigorous scholarly discourse within the fields of psychology and geriatric medicine. Indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI), the journal maintains a strong academic standing with an impact factor of approximately 4.6 and is typically classified in the third or fourth quartile of the Chinese Academy of Sciences journal rankings. While its specialized focus results in a relatively niche readership and a competitive submission process with potentially longer review cycles, International Psychogeriatrics remains a highly respected and influential venue for researchers seeking to disseminate significant contributions to the understanding of aging and mental health.
