The Journals of Gerontology, Series B: Psychological Sciences and Social Sciences
 |
The Journals of Gerontology were the first journals on aging published in the U.S. The tradition of excellence in these peer-reviewed scientific journals, established in 1946, continues today. The Journals of Gerontology, Series B publishes within its covers The Journal of Gerontology: Psychological Sciences and The Journal of Gerontology: Social Sciences. Each issue contains an article in the Editor's Choice series, representing a paper that the editor sees as providing an especially significant contribution to the field of gerontology. These articles are available free to non-subscribers. A small collection of frequently-cited articles that have enhanced the journal's impact factor also is open to the public. |

Psychological SciencesThe Psychological Sciences section of The Journal of Gerontology Series B publishes articles on development in adulthood and old age that advance the psychological science of aging processes and outcomes. Articles in the journal have clear implications for theoretical or methodological innovation in the psychology of aging or contribute significantly to the empirical understanding of psychological processes and aging. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, attitudes, clinical applications, cognition, education, emotion, health, human factors, interpersonal relations, neuropsychology, neuroscience, perception, personality, physiological psychology, social psychology, and sensation. Applied research with theoretical significance is welcome, as are conceptually interesting examples of cutting-edge analytic approaches. Manuscripts reporting work that relates behavioral aging to neighboring disciplines are also appropriate. The Journal publishes three types of articles: (a) Research Articles, reportings on original research, preferably with multiple studies and/or samples, (b) Research Reports, for brief presentations generally of single studies, and (c) New Directions in Aging Research—reviews of cutting-edge topics with theoretical or methodological implications.
