Manuscript Submission Guidelines:
The Journal of Applied Gerontology (JAG) is the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society. It features articles that focus on research applications intended to improve the quality of life of older persons or to enhance our understanding of age-related issues that will eventually lead to such outcomes. We construe application broadly and encourage contributions across a range of applications toward those foci, including interventions, methodology, policy, and theory. Manuscripts from all disciplines represented in gerontology are welcome. Because the circulation and intended audience of JAG is global, contributions from international authors are encouraged.
Manuscripts should be submitted electronically to http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jag. Authors will be required to set up an online account on the SAGETRACK system powered by ScholarOne. Manuscripts will be sent out anonymously for peer review. Obtaining permission for any quoted or reprinted material that requires permission is the responsibility of the author. Submission of a manuscript implies commitment to publish in the journal. Authors submitting manuscripts to the journal should not simultaneously submit them to another journal, nor should manuscripts have been published elsewhere in substantially similar form or with substantially similar content. Authors in doubt about what constitutes prior publication should consult the Editor. Published manuscripts are not to be published elsewhere without permission.
The manuscript text and references should be double-spaced with 1-inch margins. The body of the text should be between 4,000 and 6,000 words although longer articles occasionally will be published. Brief research reports, commentaries, or practice reviews of 1,000 to 2,000 words are also welcome. An abstract of up to 150 words should be included with all submissions. To facilitate blind review, manuscripts and abstracts with no identifiers should be accompanied by a cover sheet with title, author(s), and affiliations(s), including complete mailing and e-mail address(es). The format outlined in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th edition) should be employed. Manuscripts submitted will be reviewed initially by the Editor for conformance to page limitations and for content appropriate for blind review. Manuscripts accepted for publication are subject to stylistic editing with the edited draft sent to the corresponding author for final review.
