Focus and Scope
JMIR Aging (Impact Factor 5.0, Co-Editors-in-Chief: Yun Jiang, PhD, MS, RN, FAMIA; Jinjiao Wang, PhD, RN, MPhil) is an open-access journal that focuses on digital health, emerging technologies, health informatics applications, and patient education for preventative care, clinical care, home care, and self-management support for older adults. The journal also covers aging-focused big data analytics using data from electronic health record systems, health insurance databases, federal reimbursement databases (e.g. U.S. Medicare and Medicaid), and other large datasets. We publish original research, viewpoints, and reviews (both literature reviews and technology reviews).
The target audience of JMIR Aging includes physicians, nurses, allied health professionals, advanced clinical practitioners, patients, and caregivers.
