Journal of Applied Gerontology

A subscription to the Journal of Applied Gerontology (JAG) is included with membership in SGS. JAG has been the official journal of SGS for almost 30 years. JAG also serves an increasingly international readership. The Journal is devoted to the publication of 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.

Members receive free and full online access to issues from the last 10 volumes. The JAG website provides other useful features, such as article searches, full access to forthcoming articles (the OnlineFirst feature), and lists of most cited and most read articles. Instructors should consider JAG articles for their courses and should suggest students use the site for research. Accessing and downloading JAG abstracts and articles supports the Journal and SGS.
