Journal of Applied Gerontology (JAG)

The Journal of Applied Gerontology (JAG) is a peer‑reviewed, monthly academic journal that has been advancing the field of applied aging research since its launch in 1982. Published by SAGE Publications in association with the Southern Gerontological Society, JAG stands as a leading venue for research that bridges gerontological science and practical application. Unlike journals that emphasize only theoretical development, JAG focuses on research findings that have direct, often immediate implications for improving health, care, quality of life, and social policy for older adults. The journal welcomes a wide range of study types—including quantitative, qualitative, mixed‑methods, and systematic reviews—that contribute to knowledge about aging processes, caregiving models, long‑term care frameworks, technology use in aging populations, mental and social well‑being, policy impact studies, and interventions in real‑world settings. By promoting rigorous empirical work grounded in current societal challenges, JAG plays a key role in informing practitioners, healthcare providers, service organizations, and policymakers who work with older populations. With its monthly issue frequency, JAG continuously disseminates timely research that shapes gerontological practice and policy internationally, fostering interdisciplinary engagement across fields such as public health, social work, nursing, psychology, social policy, and healthcare administration.
