About this journal
Aims and scope
Clinical Interventions in Aging focuses on concise and rapid reporting of original research and reviews in aging. Special attention will be given to papers focused on prevention or treatment of diseases in older persons (> 65 years) or a greater understanding of patho (physio-) logical processes that result from maladaptive changes in the body associated with aging.
Clinical Interventions in Aging will no longer accept meta-analyses and study protocols for publication.
Specific topics covered by the journal include:
- Intrinsic diseases of aging such as cancer, diabetes, dementia, etc.
- Management of “normal” but degenerative aging processes such as changes in body composition leading to the loss of independence and decreased quality of life
- Functional and cognitive decline in humans
- Falls and falls-related injuries risk, assessment and interventions in older persons
- Health-oriented approach to aging (as opposed to a disease-oriented one)
- Integrative, preventive, and personalized approaches in aging care
- Replacement of essential substances whose concentrations decline during aging
- Clinical options to combat the maladaptive effects of aging
- Preventing or delaying the onset of intrinsic diseases of aging
- Managing functional decline during senescence
- Metabolic therapies
- Indicators of disease risk
- Health systems or structures that support scaling approaches in aging healthcare and health care interventions
Submissions to Clinical Interventions in Aging should have a clear aging research focus, with a particular focus on older persons (> 65 years). Only in exceptional cases, will manuscript related to early onset diseases will be considered (e.g., Alzheimer’s). The journal welcomes submitted papers covering original research, epidemiological studies, reviews, expert opinions, and commentaries.
Pre-clinical studies in healthy persons which help in understanding aging related functional and cognitive decline and falls risk are also welcome. However, animal and cell-based studies will not be considered
When considering submission of a paper utilizing publicly available data, authors should ensure that such studies add significantly to the body of knowledge and that they are validated using the authors’ own data through replication in an original sample.
Case reports/series submitted to Clinical Interventions in Aging will be diverted to the to the case reports section of the International Medical Case Reports Journal (Journal metric data for this journal can be accessed here).
Letters and commentaries can only be considered in exceptional cases, and following EIC’s decision.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication. However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
For more details, please read the Author Services guide to understanding journal metrics.
Journal metrics in brief
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of the following metrics (find out why).
- Usage: the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the nearest thousand.
Citation Metrics
- Impact Factor*: the average number of citations received by articles published in the journal within a two-year window. Only journals in the Clarivate Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), Arts and Humanities Citation Index (AHCI) and the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) have an Impact Factor.
- Impact Factor Best Quartile*: the journal’s highest subject category ranking in the Journal Citation Reports. Q1 = 25% of journals with the highest Impact Factors.
- 5 Year Impact Factor*: the average number of citations received by articles in the journal within a five-year window.
- CiteScore (Scopus)†: the average number of citations received by articles in the journal over a four-year period.
- CiteScore Best Quartile†: the journal’s highest CiteScore ranking in a Scopus subject category. Q1 = 25% of journals with the highest CiteScores.
- SNIP (Source Normalized Impact per Paper): the number of citations per paper in the journal, divided by citation potential in the field.
- SJR (Scimago Journal Rank): Average number of (weighted) citations in one year, divided by the number of articles published in the journal in the previous three years.
Speed/acceptance
- From submission to first decision: the average (median) number of days for a manuscript submitted to the journal to receive a first decision. Based on manuscripts receiving a first decision in the last six months.
- From submission to first post-review decision: the average (median) number of days for a manuscript submitted to the journal to receive a first decision if it is sent out for peer review. Based on manuscripts receiving a post-review first decision in the last six months.
- From acceptance to online publication: the average (median) number of days from acceptance of a manuscript to online publication of the Version of Record. Based on articles published in the last six months.
- Acceptance rate: articles accepted for publication by the journal in the previous calendar year as percentage of all papers receiving a final decision.
