Aims & Scope
The International Journal of Gerontology (IJGE) is the official peer-reviewed and SCIE-indexed journal of the Taiwan Society of Geriatric Emergency and Critical Care Medicine. The journal aims to publish original research and review papers on all fields of geriatrics and gerontology, including those dealing with critical care and emergency medicine. The IJGE aims to explore and clarify the medical science and philosophy in all fields of geriatrics and gerontology, including those in emergency and critical care medicine. The IJGE is determined not only to be a professional gerontology journal but also a leading source of information for the developing field of geriatric emergency and critical care medicine. It is a pioneer in Asia. Topics in the IJGE cover the advancement of diagnosis and management in urgent, serious and chronic intractable diseases in later life, preventive medicine, long-term care of disability, ethical issues in the diseased elderly and biochemistry, cell biology, endocrinology, molecular biology, pharmacology, physiology and protein chemistry involving diseases associated with age. We did not limit the territory to only critical or emergency conditions inasmuch as chronic diseases are frequently brought about by inappropriate management of acute problems. The scientific information published here is grounded on clinical cases, statistic evidence of original studies, and accumulation of medical knowledge, humanistic ethics, and fundamental researches. We are also interested in studies bridging the gap between basic and clinical aspects of geriatric diseases.
