Journal Descriptions
Dementia: The International Journal of Social Research and Practice is a leading academic journal dedicated to understanding dementia through social, cultural, and practice‑oriented lenses rather than exclusively biomedical ones. Established in 2002 and published bimonthly by SAGE Publications, it offers a platform for rigorous research that examines how dementia is experienced, interpreted, and addressed within family, community, and service contexts around the world. The journal prioritizes studies that illuminate the lived experience of people with dementia, the roles of caregivers and support networks, and the cultural and policy environments that shape care and quality of life. Its interdisciplinary remit welcomes contributions from sociology, psychology, anthropology, nursing, gerontology, and allied disciplines, encouraging diverse methodologies and critical perspectives. Articles often focus on social meanings, care practices, identity, communication, ethical challenges, and service innovation in dementia research. Because dementia affects not only clinical health outcomes but also social inclusion, well‑being, and daily life, the journal serves as a bridge between academic inquiry and real‑world practice. Researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and students turn to Dementia for insights that can inform compassionate, evidence‑informed approaches to supporting people with dementia and their communities.
