• 0.6 Impact Factor 2023
  The journal Impact Factor is the average number of times articles from the journal published in the past two years have been cited in the JCR year. It is calculated by dividing the number of citations in the JCR year by the total number of articles published in the two previous years.
• 0.4 5 year Impact Factor 2023
  The 5-year journal Impact Factor is the average number of times articles from the journal published in the past five years have been cited in the JCR year. It is calculated by dividing the number of citations in the JCR year by the total number of articles published in the five previous years.
• Q4Quartile: Geriatrics & Gerontology 2023
  Quartiles indicate where a journal’s ranking lies within a particular subject category. These quartiles rank the journals from highest to lowest based on their impact factor. Q1 (green) comprises the quarter of the journals with the highest values, Q2 (yellow) the second highest values, Q3 (orange) the third highest values and Q4 (red) the lowest values.
• 0.08 Journal Citation Indicator (Geriatrics & Gerontology) 2023
  The Journal Citation Indicator is a measure of the average Category Normalized Citation Impact (CNCI) of citable items (articles & reviews) published by a journal over a recent three year period. It is used to help you evaluate journals based on other metrics besides the Journal Impact Factor (JIF).

SCOPUS

• 0.8 CiteScore 2023
  CiteScore acts as an indicator of the citation level of peer-reviewed materials, which is calculated as the ratio of the average number of citations to the number of published documents. Therewith, the publication window is equal to four years.
• 0.15Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP) 2023
  Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP) measures contextual citation impact by weighting citations based on the total number of citations in a subject field. The impact of a single citation is given higher value in subject areas where citations are less likely, and vice versa.
• 0.176 SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) 2024
  SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) is a measure of scientific influence of scholarly journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from.
• Q4Quartile: Geriatrics and Gerontology 2024
  Quartiles indicate where a journal’s ranking lies within a particular subject category. These quartiles rank the journals from highest to lowest based on their SJR. Q1 (green) comprises the quarter of the journals with the highest values, Q2 (yellow) the second highest values, Q3 (orange) the third highest values and Q4 (red) the lowest values.
• 12H-Index 2024
  A journal has an H index of h if it published h papers each of which has been cited in other journals at least h times. Calculations are based on Scopus.

Advances in Gerontology  is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes reviews, original articles, short communications, and opinion articles covering a wide range of areas of gerontological research aimed at understanding the mechanisms of aging and finding ways to combat it. Priority is given to publications devoted to the fundamental mechanisms that may determine the increase in the probability of death of living organisms, including humans, with age. Articles aimed at identifying various factors of both chemical and physical nature that could potentially help slow down the aging process are also welcome. It is assumed that the authors of articles submitted to the journal strictly comply with the requirements for correct experimental gerontological research, both in methodological terms and in terms of biomedical research ethics. Purely descriptive works that do not analyze the mechanisms underlying the observed patterns are not published. No publication fee is charged to authors who are not interested in open access to their articles.
