Open access

Authors publish their research via our Open Access program. Choosing this route ensures that their article becomes freely and immediately accessible to the global academic community and the public upon publication.


Visibility and Impact
Publishing Open Access significantly enhances the visibility, readership, and impact of your work. By removing access barriers, your research can reach a wide audience of practitioners, policymakers, and researchers. Industry data suggests that Open Access articles typically receive substantially higher citations and downloads compared to those behind paywalls (often exceeding 35% more citations and 5 times as many downloads), maximising the potential for your findings to influence the field of gerontology.


Article Publishing Charge (APC)
To support the costs of open publication, an Article Publishing Charge (APC)
may apply after the first two years of publication. We encourage authors to check with their funding bodies or institutions, as these costs are frequently covered by research grants or institutional open access funds.
