Every year, academic journals are given an Impact Factor that reflects the number of citations items published in the journal have received.
We are delighted to announce that our international clinical geriatrics journal, Age and Ageing, has achieved an Impact Factor of 7.1 for 2024. This is an increase from 6.0 the previous year.
An Impact Factor of 7.1 means that Age and Ageing is now the fifth highest-ranked journal in the Geriatrics and Gerontology category. It has retained its place as the highest-impact clinical geriatrics journal in the world.
Congratulations to the Age and Ageing team and to everyone who published in the journal in the last year.
