Aims and Scope
In view of the ever-increasing fraction of elderly people, understanding the mechanisms of aging and age-related diseases has become a matter of urgent necessity. 'Gerontology', the oldest journal in the field, responds to this need by drawing topical contributions from multiple disciplines to support the fundamental goals of extending active life and enhancing its quality. The range of papers is classified into four sections. In the Clinical Section, the aetiology, pathogenesis, prevention and treatment of agerelated diseases are discussed from a gerontological rather than a geriatric viewpoint. The Experimental Section contains up-to-date contributions from basic gerontological research. Papers dealing with behavioural development and related topics are placed in the Behavioural Science Section. Basic aspects of regeneration in different experimental biological systems as well as in the context of medical applications are dealt with in a special section that also contains information on technological advances for the elderly. Providing a primary source of high-quality papers covering all aspects of aging in humans and animals, 'Gerontology' serves as an ideal information tool for all readers interested in the topic of aging from a broad perspective.

Verified Reviews
On April 2nd, it was still in the "with editor" status. On June 8th, it was marked as "decision pending," but that evening it was rejected citing that the article did not align with the journal's direction.
Furthermore, in the email, it was indicated that the journal's policy is to reject articles directly if they deem the direction to be unsuitable for their scope. Okay, that's reasonable, but what does it mean to delay it for two months for no apparent reason???
It seems like this journal with a third-tier reputation is quite pretentious.
