About the journal
The Gerontologist, published since 1961, is a bimonthly journal (first issue in February) of The Gerontological Society of America that provides a multidisciplinary perspective on human aging through the publication of research and analysis in gerontology, including social policy, program development, and service delivery. It reflects and informs the broad community of disciplines and professions involved in understanding the aging process and providing service to older people. Articles, including those in applied research, should report concepts and research findings, with implications for policy or practice. Contributions from social and psychological sciences, biomedical and health sciences, political science and public policy, economics, education, law, and the humanities are welcome. Brief descriptions of innovative practices and programs are appropriate in the Practice Concepts section.

The Gerontologist is a bimonthly journal of The Gerontological Society of America that provides a multidisciplinary perspective on human aging through the publication of research and analysis in gerontology, including social policy, program development, and service delivery. It reflects and informs the broad community of disciplines and professions involved in understanding the aging process and providing service to older people. Articles, including those in applied research, should report concepts and research findings, with implications for policy or practice. Contributions from social and psychological sciences, biomedical and health sciences, political science and public policy, economics, education, law, and the humanities are welcome. Brief descriptions of innovative practices and programs are appropriate in the Practice Concepts section.
1. Submission and Acceptance of Manuscripts
Authors are strongly encouraged to submit all manuscripts online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tg.
Prior to submission, corresponding authors should gather the following information: (a) complete contact information for themselves and each contributing author; at a minimum, this should include mailing address, e-mail address and phone number; (b) a copy of the manuscript, in a Word-compatible format, including title page, key words, acknowledgments, abstract, text, and references; (c) a cover letter (optional) explaining how the manuscript is innovative, provocative, timely, and of interest to a broad audience, and other information authors wish to share with editors. Note: The cover letter for manuscripts will NOT be shared with reviewers.
This journal requires authors to submit TWO versions of the article file, anonymous and non-anonymous. These files will be combined into a single PDF document for the double-blind peer review process.
Instructions for Anonymous Files
1. Upload one anonymous version of your manuscript with no author names, addresses, acknowledgment details, or other identifiers. Be sure to check there are no self references in the text itself. You can insert the term "blinded for review" in its place. This version will be seen by reviewers.
2. Upload a complete version of the manuscript with all of the author and acknowledgment details. This version will be seen by the editors and will be the version published, IF accepted.
Additional instructions regarding submissions can be found at:http://www.oxfordjournals.org/our_journals/geront/ or by contacting the Managing Editor, Megan McCutcheon, at tg@gmu.edu.
2. Acceptance of Manuscripts
Submission of a manuscript to The Gerontologist implies that it has not been published or is not under consideration elsewhere. If accepted for this journal, it is not to be published elsewhere without permission. As a further condition of publication, the corresponding author will be responsible, where appropriate, for certifying that permission has been received to use copyrighted instruments or software employed in the research and that human or animal subjects approval has been obtained.
In the case of coauthored manuscripts, the corresponding author will also be responsible for submitting a letter, signed by all authors, indicating that they actively participated in the collaborative work leading to the publication and agree to be listed as an author on the paper. These assurances will be requested at the time a paper has been formally accepted for publication.
3. Manuscript Preparation
The Gerontologist uses APA style. General guidelines follow; for more detailed information, consult the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th ed.)
a. Preparing the manuscript. Manuscripts should be double-spaced, including references and tables, on 8-1/2?x 11?white paper using 1?margins. Number pages consecutively for the abstract, text, references, tables, and figures (in this order).
b. Submitting the manuscript. Manuscripts should be submitted online at tg.allentrack.net. (See above for details.)
c. Title page. The page should include complete contact information for each author, including (at a minimum) affiliation, mailing address, e-mail address, and phone number. The corresponding author should be clearly designated as such.
d. Acknowledgment. If the authors choose to include acknowledgments recognizing funders or other individuals, they should be placed on a separate page immediately following the title page. These acknowledgments will be removed from the manuscript when it is blinded for review.
e. Abstract and key words. On a separate page, each manuscript must include a brief abstract, double-spaced. Abstracts for research articles, Brief Reports, and Practice Concepts submissions should be approximately 200 words (the web-based system will not accept an abstract of more than 250 words), and must include the following headings: Purpose of the study, Design and Methods, Results, and Implications. Forum manuscripts must also include an abstract of about 200 words, but the headings are not necessary. Below the abstract, authors should supply three to five key words that are NOT in the title. (Please avoid elders, older adults, or other words that would apply to all manuscripts submitted to The Gerontologist.) Please note three key words must be entered in order to move forward in the online submission process.
f. Text references. Refer to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th ed.) for style. References in text are shown by citing in parentheses the author’s surname and the year of publication. Example: ‘‘. . . a recent study (Jones, 1987) has shown. . . .’’ If a reference has two authors, the citation includes the surnames of both authors each time the citation appears in the text. When a reference has more than two authors and fewer than six authors, cite all authors the first time the reference occurs. In subsequent citations, and for all citations having six or more authors, include only the surname of the first author followed by ‘‘et al.’’ Multiple references cited at the same point in the text are in alphabetical order by author’s surname.
g. Reference list. Type double-spaced and arrange alphabetically by author’s surname; do not number. The reference list includes only references cited in the text and in most cases should not exceed 50 entries. Do not include references to private communications or submitted work. Consult the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th ed.) for correct form.
Examples:
Journals: Morrow-Howell, N. & Noelker L. (2006). Raising the Bar to Enhance the Research–Practice Link. The Gerontologist, 46, 315-316.
Books: Quadagno, J. S. (1982). Aging in early industrial societies. New York: Academic Press.
h. Tables. Tables are to be double-spaced, numbered consecutively with Arabic numbers and have a brief title for each. Place table footnotes immediately below the table, using superscript letters (a, b, c) as reference marks. Asterisks are used only for probability levels of tests of significance (*p < .05).
i. Illustrations. Photographs must be black-and-white. Figures must be professionally lettered in a sans-serif type (e.g., Arial or Helvetica). Graphics must be submitted in a suitable, common graphic format. Upon acceptance of article, originals must be submitted.
Color figures.
Please contact the production editor for information about color.
4. Types of Manuscripts Considered for Publication
All manuscripts submitted to The Gerontologist should address practice and/or policy implications. The word limits listed below include abstract, text, and references.
a. Research Articles. Most articles present the results of original research. These manuscripts may be no longer than 6,000 words. The text is usually divided into sections with the headings: Introduction, Design and Methods, Results, and Discussion. Subheads may also be needed to clarify content.
Qualitative manuscripts may be no longer than 7,000 words. Please refer to the following editorial for further information about qualitative submissions.
Schoenberg, N. & McAuley, W. J. (2007). Promoting qualitative research. The Gerontologist, 47(5), 576-577.
b. The Forum. Timely scholarly review articles or well-documented arguments presenting a viewpoint on a topical issue are published in this section. Total length should be no more than 5,000 words.
c. Practice Concepts. A Practice Concepts manuscript describes, in 4,000 words or fewer, an innovative practice amenable to replication. Authors must clearly specify the following information about the practice: (a) uniqueness or innovation, (b) theoretical or conceptual basis, (c) essential components or features, and (d) evidence that supports replication or suggests modifications. The article should be structured to highlight these points (the structure of a research article does not necessarily apply). An important goal is to provide enough information about the practice to allow its replication.
d. Letters to the Editor. Letters related to content in recent issues are published as space permits. Letters should reference the original article (if applicable) and be no more than 900 words. Letters are subject to review, editing, and rebuttal.
e. Book Reviews. Book reviews are published in essay form. Reviews are prepared at the request of the Book Review Editor and are not guaranteed acceptance prior to submission. Unsolicited book review essays are not accepted. Books for review should be sent to Frank J. Whittington, PhD, Book Review Editor, Dean's Office, College of Health and Human Services, George Mason University, 4400 University Dr., MS 2G7, Fairfax, VA 22030
f. Guest Editorials. Upon occasion, the Editor-in-Chief will invite guest editorials. Unsolicited editorials are not accepted.
g. Brief Reports. Emergent and provocative reports of research, especially discoveries requiring rapid publication and policy/practice related conceptual frameworks with broad implications are examples of articles published in this section. Manuscripts should be no more than 2,500 words.
h. The Gerontologist does not publish obituaries, speeches, poems, announcements of programs, or new product information.
5. Copyright
Authors of accepted manuscripts must transfer copyright to The Gerontological Society of America. However, authors have unlimited rights to republish their articles in volumes they write or edit and to duplicate the material for their own use in classroom activities. When articles are republished or duplicated under these circumstances, a citation to the previous publication in The Gerontologist and approval from the GSA Permissions Editor is required.
LICENCES, OFFPRINTS AND SUBMISSIONS
It is a condition of publication in The Gerontologist that authors grant an exclusive licence to The Gerontological Society of America. This ensures that requests from third parties to reproduce articles are handled efficiently and consistently and will also allow the article to be as widely disseminated as possible. As part of the licence agreement, authors may use their own material in other publications provided that The Gerontologist is acknowledged as the original place of publication and Oxford University Press as the Publisher.
Information about the Creative Commons licence can be found at http://creativecommons.org/.
Authors will receive electronic access to their paper free of charge. Printed offprints may be purchased in multiples of 50. Rates are indicated on the order form which must be returned with the proofs.
PERMISSIONS FOR ILLUSTRATIONS AND FIGURES
Permission to reproduce copyright material, for print and online publication in perpetuity, must be cleared and if necessary paid for by the author; this includes applications and payments to DACS, ARS and similar licencing agencies where appropriate. Evidence in writing that such permissions have been secured from the rights-holder must be made available to the editors. It is also the author's responsibility to include acknowledgements as stipulated by the particular institutions. Oxford Journals can offer information and documentation to assist authors in securing print and online permissions: please see Guidelines for Authors. Information on permissions contacts for a number of main galleries and museums can also be provided. Should you require copies of this, please contact the editorial office of the journal in question or the Oxford Journals Rights department.
FUNDING
Details of all funding sources for the work in question should be given in a separate section entitled Funding. This should appear before the Acknowledgements section. The following rules should be followed: the full official funding agency name should be given, i.e. National Institutes of Health, not NIH; grant numbers should be given in brackets; multiple grant numbers should be separated by a comma; agencies should be separated by a semi-colon; no extra wording such as, "Funding for this work was provided by ..." should be used; where individuals need to be specified for certain sources of funding the following text should be added after the relevant agency or grant number to [author initials]. An example is given here: National Institutes of Health (AG123456 to C.S., etc.); Funding Agency (hfygr667789).
ADVANCE ACCESS
Advance Access allows for papers to be published online soon after they have been accepted for publication---reducing the time between submission and publication. Articles posted for Advance Access have been copyedited and typeset but not yet paginated for inclusion in a specific issue of the journal. Appearance in Advance Access constitutes official publication, with full-text functionality, and the Advance Access version can be cited by a unique DOI (Digital Object Identifier). The final manuscript is then paginated into an issue, at which point it is removed from the Advance Access page. Both versions of the paper continue to be accessible and citable.
AUTHORS SELF-ARCHIVING / PUBLIC ACCESS POLICY
For information about this journal's policy, please visit our Author Self-Archiving policy page.
OPEN ACCESS
Authors have the option, at an additional charge, to make their paper freely available online immediately upon publication, under the Oxford Open initiative. After your manuscript is accepted, as part of the mandatory licence form required of all corresponding authors, you will be asked to indicate whether or not you wish to pay to have your paper made freely available immediately. If you do not select the Open Access option, your paper will be published with standard subscription-based access and you will not be charged.
For those selecting the Open Access option, the charges for The Gerontologist vary depending on the institution at which the Corresponding author is based.
The above Open Access charges are in addition to any page charges and colour charges that might apply.
If you choose the Open Access option you will also be asked to complete an Open Access charge form online. You will be automatically directed to the appropriate version of the form depending on whether you are based at an institution with an online subscription to The Gerontologist. Therefore, please make sure that you are using an institutional computer when accessing the form. To check whether you are based at a subscribing institution please use the Subscriber Test link for The Gerontologist.
ETHICS
The Gerontologist expects that authors will observe high standards with respect to publication ethics. For example, the following practices are unacceptable: (1) falsification or fabrication of data, (2) plagiarism, including duplicate publication of the authors' own work, in whole or in part without proper citation, (3) misappropriation of the work of others such as omission of qualified authors or of information regarding financial support. Allegations of unethical conduct will be discussed initially with the corresponding author. In the event of continued dispute the matter will be referred to the author's institution and funding agencies for investigation and adjudication.
Oxford Journals, publisher of The Gerontologist, is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), and the journal strives to adhere to the COPE code of conduct and guidelines. For further information see http://www.publicationethics.org.uk.
