Zeitschrift für Gerontologie und Geriatrie (ZGG)
Journal Descriptions
Zeitschrift für Gerontologie und Geriatrie is one of the leading scientific journals in the German‑speaking world dedicated to ageing science (Gerontologie) and medical care of the elderly (Geriatrie). Established in 1968 as the Zeitschrift für Gerontologie and retitled to its current name in 1995, the journal publishes peer‑reviewed original research articles, clinical investigations, reviews, commentaries, and emerging practice reports across a wide range of ageing‑related topics. Appearing eight times per year, the journal offers an interdisciplinary platform that bridges basic research on biological and psychological aspects of ageing with clinical practice in geriatric medicine. Articles cover preventive health measures for the elderly, management of chronic diseases, rehabilitative strategies, social and behavioral science perspectives on ageing, and critical debates on long‑term care and policy. As a hybrid publication from Springer Medizin Verlag GmbH (Springer Nature), it provides both subscription‑based and open‑access options, ensuring broad dissemination. The journal is indexed in major databases including MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, and Science Citation Index Expanded, reflecting its scientific reputation and relevance to researchers, clinicians, and gerontology professionals globally.
