About the journal
Social policymakers need a balanced, thoughtful, and analytical resource to meet the challenge of global "graying" at a rate that's historically unprecedented. The Journal of Aging & Social Policy examines the important policy issues that affect the elderly in societies throughout the world.
The Journal of Aging & Social Policy presents insightful contributions from an international and interdisciplinary panel of policy analysts, researchers, and scholars. The journal examines and analyzes policymaking and the political processes that affect the development and implementation of programs for the elderly from a global perspective, highlighting not only the United States but also Europe, the Middle East, Australia, Latin America, Asia, and the Asia-Pacific rim. Issues regularly addressed in the journal include: long-term care, home and community-based care, nursing home care, assisted living; long-term care financing, financial security, employment and training, public and private pension coverage; housing; transportation; health care access and financing; retirement. In addition to the major issues of growing old in a youth-oriented society, the Journal of Aging & Social Policy also reviews the processes for adopting policies at the state and federal levels, examining the interplay of political and economic forces, legal and regulatory constraints, the pressure of special interests, and the influence of constituencies.
The Journal of Aging & Social Policy is an essential source for critical and historical analysis, and cutting-edge thought and discussion on age-based policy, and a must for educators, practitioners, researchers, and administrators who work with the elderly.

Instructions to Authors
Please note that Journal of Aging & Social Policy uses CrossCheck™ software to screen papers for unoriginal material. By submitting your paper to Journal of Aging & Social Policy you are agreeing to any necessary originality checks your paper may have to undergo during the peer review and production processes.
Manuscript Content. The Journal is broadly concerned with efforts of both the public and private sectors to address the implications of population aging. The Journal welcomes manuscripts that call attention to needs that merit greater attention from policymakers, analyze significant policy options to achieve policy goals, and evaluate policy initiatives that have been implemented. The Journal welcomes manuscripts concerned with all of the major issues that affect older people, including financial security, employment, retirement, health (physical and mental), long-term care, housing, and transportation. In addition, the Journal welcomes manuscripts on the experiences of older people with other institutional sectors that receive less widespread attention.
The Journal publishes both research articles and commentaries. In research articles, a major emphasis is on the reporting of research findings. Authors of research articles are expected to provide balanced attention to policy and research. Articles must be framed in a policy context; a full discussion of the policy implications of research findings is expected. Authors should explain their research methods clearly but concisely. The data analysis and reporting of research findings should be organized to contribute to an understanding of the central policy issue.
Through commentaries, authors can offer their opinions on policy issues. Commentaries may offer arguments for policy goals, recommendations regarding promising policy options, or interpretation of the results of policy initiatives. Commentaries typically are shorter than research papers.
In writing about policy developments, authors should emphasize underlying issues rather than matters requiring immediate action. Authors should anticipate the Journal’s long lead time for publication by emphasizing content that is likely to remain of interest to readers for several years after it is written.
Because the scope of the Journal is global, manuscripts that address policy issues in nations around the world are welcome. Historically, the Journal has been based in the United States with most of its authors and subscribers located there. Most articles have addressed issues as they are experienced in the United States. However, the number of international authors who contribute to the Journal is increasing and the international literature is expanding. All authors are encouraged to place their manuscripts in an international context. Manuscripts may report research that reflects experiences in a single country, but papers should reflect the international literature on both underlying aging processes and policy developments.

Submission of Manuscripts. Send an electronic copy on disk or as an e-mail attachment (formatted in Microsoft Word) to Robert Geary, Managing Editor, Journal of Aging & Social Policy, Gerontology Institute, University of Massachusetts Boston, 100 Morrissey Blvd., Boston, MA 02125-3393. E-mail: Robert.Geary@umb.edu .
Submission of a manuscript to this journal represents a certification on the part of the author(s) that it is an original work, and that neither this manuscript nor a version of it has been published elsewhere or is being considered for publication elsewhere.
All manuscripts must be typed, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on all sides, and follow the current American Psychological Association (APA) style. Each manuscript should be accompanied by a title page including complete author name(s), affiliations, mailing address, phone, fax and e-mail information (for multiple author papers, provide complete information for each author and indicate the corresponding author). Manuscripts should not be longer than 20 pages (lengthier manuscripts may be considered at the discretion of the Editor). Manuscripts should include an abstract of approximately 100 words on a separate sheet of paper. Below the abstract, provide 3-10 key words for indexing purposes.
Submitted manuscripts will undergo blind peer review. Authors should avoid placing any form of identification either on the body of the manuscript or on the required abstract. Manuscripts that do not conform to these requirements will be returned to the authors for correction and will delay the review process.
As an author, you are required to secure permission if you want to reproduce any figure, table, or extract from another source. This applies to direct reproduction as well as “derivative reproduction” (where you have created a new figure or table which derives substantially from copyrighted sources).
References. References should be double-spaced, placed in alphabetical order, and listed on separate pages following the text. They should refer only to material cited in the manuscript and should follow the current APA style. In text, reference citations should include author and year of publication. Identify subsequent citations in the text in the same way as the first, not using ibid., op. cit., or loc. cit. If five authors or fewer, give names of all authors. For six authors or more, use “et al.” after the first author’s name. In the reference list, cite all authors.
