About the Journal

Innovation in Aging is an open access journal of The Gerontological Society of America (GSA) that publishes conceptually sound, methodologically rigorous research studies that describe innovative theories, research methods, interventions, evaluations, and policies relevant to aging and the life course. Journal content reflects the wide-ranging research interests of GSA members. Types of studies may include: (a) validation of novel conceptual or theoretical models; (b) evaluation of interventions, approaches, or policies; (c) implementation of innovative research methods including new techniques, devices, or evaluation methods; (d) interdisciplinary research that transfers concepts, methodologies, and interventions from other fields to studies of aging and the life course; and (e) modeling and simulations that describe factors and processes that affect outcomes during aging and the life course. Contributions are welcome from scholars in many fields, including technology, engineering, architecture, economics, business, law, political science and public policy, education, public health, social and psychological sciences, biomedical and health sciences, and the arts and humanities.

The Gerontological Society of America (GSA)

GSA is the oldest and largest interdisciplinary organization devoted to research, education, and practice in the field of aging. GSA's principal mission — and that of its 5,500 members — is to advance the study of aging and disseminate information among scientists, decision makers, and the general public.

The Society, founded in 1945, is the driving force behind the advancement of gerontology both domestically and internationally. Its members come from more than 50 countries.

GSA fosters collaboration between biologists, health professionals, policymakers, and behavioral and social scientists. GSA believes the intersection of research from diverse areas is the best way to achieve the greatest impact and promote healthy aging.
