AGEING RESEARCH REVIEWS

Ageing Research Reviews (ISSN 1568-1637) is a distinguished international journal published by Elsevier in the Netherlands, dedicated exclusively to the multidisciplinary field of ageing research. Released quarterly, the journal is indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI) and consistently maintains a high impact factor, securing a top-tier position in the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) journal ranking for medical and biological sciences. While it operates under a hybrid access model rather than being fully open access, it offers partial open access options to broaden the dissemination of its content. The publication is renowned for its rigorous peer-review process and high academic influence, focusing primarily on high-quality, comprehensive review articles that synthesize current knowledge across molecular, cellular, physiological, and clinical dimensions of ageing. Key thematic areas include the fundamental mechanisms of senescence, the pathophysiology of age-related diseases, and emerging anti-ageing interventions. Consequently, the journal serves as a critical resource for researchers and clinicians seeking authoritative syntheses of the field, although its emphasis on review content means it publishes fewer original experimental studies, making it less suitable for authors seeking to present primary data. Prospective contributors should be aware of the journal’s competitive landscape, characterized by a high rejection rate and a relatively lengthy review cycle, reflecting its commitment to maintaining the highest standards of scholarly excellence in gerontology and related disciplines.
