INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF GERIATRIC PSYCHIATRY

The International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry (ISSN 0885-6230) is a prestigious monthly peer-reviewed journal published by Wiley in the United Kingdom, serving as a leading academic platform for research in the field of geriatric psychiatry. As an SCI-indexed publication that consistently ranks in the high quartile of the Chinese Academy of Sciences journal rankings for psychiatry and geriatric medicine, the journal is renowned for its rigorous editorial standards and high impact factor, reflecting its significant influence within the scientific community. The scope of the journal encompasses a wide array of topics critical to the mental health of older adults, including the diagnosis, treatment, and care of dementia, depression, and other psychiatric disorders, with a particular emphasis on original research that advances clinical understanding and practice. Although the journal operates on a hybrid model rather than being fully open access, it offers partial open access options to enhance the dissemination of knowledge. Due to its high reputation and the intense competition among submissions, the journal maintains a high rejection rate and may involve a longer review process, yet it remains an essential resource for scholars, clinicians, and researchers dedicated to improving the mental well-being of the aging population.
