It publishes peer reviewed original articles and commissioned reviews on geriatric medicine and gerontology. The journal is published in monthly online issues and all content is archived and available on the journal's main website <a href="https://academic.oup.com/ageing">www.academic.oup.com/ageing</a></p> <p style="margin-bottom:15pt;">It is a leading international clinical geriatric medicine journal and is highly influential with an Impact Factor of 6.7 and is in the top quartile of its category for Geriatrics and Gerontology journals (ranked 10 out of 54). Content published in Age and Ageing is highly used with over 2.5 million article downloads per year. We are a truly international journal with readers, reviewers and authors from across the world and an Editorial Board representing all global regions.</p> <p>Journal content includes research, commentary and expert review articles on ageing and clinical, epidemiological, and psychological aspects of later life. More <a href="https://academic.oup.com/ageing/pages/General_Instructions">information for authors</a> can be found on the journal website.</p> <p>All of our content is free to read 12 months after publication and about 30% of our new content is Open Access and therefore free to read without a subscription. We also regularly curate <a href="https://academic.oup.com/ageing/pages/web_collections">themed collections</a> that are free access for a limited time. Most BGS members have a subscription included in their membership and can unlock subscriber-only content using their BGS credentials.</p> <p style="margin-bottom:15pt;">Age and Ageing is a hybrid journal meaning that standard publication is free of charge but authors have the option of paying an Open Access publication charge (APC) to make their paper freely available online immediately upon publication. Most UK institutions will be covered by a Read and Publish deal which will cover the APC. We can offer a 20% discount on the APCs for members of the BGS.</p> </div></div> </div> <div class="section-row palette-default views-paragraph-wysiwyg views-row"> <div class="views-field views-field-field-body"><div class="field-content"><p class="larger-text"></p> <div class="OutlineElement Ltr BCX0 SCXW176140679"> <h4>Read Age and Ageing journal now</h4> <p>Age and Ageing journal can be accessed without registration or subscription.
