《老年研究雜志》以學術(shù)論文為特色，提供了挑戰(zhàn)現(xiàn)有理論和實證工作的新解釋。文章不需要把老齡化作為一個整體來處理，而是需要處理任何與老齡化經(jīng)驗相關(guān)的、與社會和行為科學以及人文學科的廣泛關(guān)注和主題相關(guān)的、可以站得住腳的相關(guān)主題。該雜志強調(diào)創(chuàng)新和批判——總的來說是新的方向——而不考慮理論或方法取向或?qū)W術(shù)紀律。歡迎批評的、經(jīng)驗的或理論的貢獻。

The Journal of Aging Studies features scholarly papers offering new interpretations that challenge existing theory and empirical work. Articles need not deal with the field of aging as a whole, but with any defensibly relevant topic pertinent to the aging experience and related to the broad concerns and subject matter of the social and behavioral sciences and the humanities. The journal emphasizes innovations and critique - new directions in general - regardless of theoretical or methodological orientation or academic discipline. Critical, empirical, or theoretical contributions are welcome.
