Innovation in Aging’s Calling Card: Translational Significance

Abstract

I am honored to take the reins of Innovation in Aging (IA) as its second Editor-in-Chief. In its first 4 years, IA has already made its mark in aging science. We have published more than 135 papers and put together highly cited special issues and sections in caregiving dynamics, Latinx health, public health and aging, and mental health among older adults in minority groups. IA is indexed in PubMed, the Emerging Sources Citation Index (Web of Science), the Directory of Open Access Journals, and SCOPUS. We continue to see submissions at an expanding pace and, on average, get first decisions back to authors within 25 days. With increasing citations, we are on track to receive an impressive journal impact factor.
