實驗老年學每年出現8次，為闡明真菌、植物、動物和人類從分子水平到整個生物體的生物衰老過程的工作的出版提供了一個論壇。實驗老年學在生物化學、細胞生物學、遺傳學、分子生物學、神經科學、營養學、免疫學和內分泌學等領域發表原創作品。該雜志還旨在通過發表有關老年癡呆癥、動脈粥樣硬化、類風濕關節炎、良性前列腺增生和其他老年人增生性和代謝性疾病等與年齡相關疾病的基本方面的論文，彌合老年醫學基礎和臨床方面的差距。關于老齡化的心理、社會和流行病學方面的手稿和臨床研究報告不屬于該雜志的范圍。除了研究原稿外，還發表了短報告、綜述、小綜述、評注、透視、會議報告、爭議性課題的意見以及實驗老年學圖像。一個覆蓋老年學各個領域的國際知名編輯團隊負責該核心期刊的科學質量。確保有一個稱職、公平和迅速的審查程序。

Experimental Gerontology appears 8 times per year and provides a forum for the publication of work that elucidates the processes of biological aging in fungi, plants, animals, and humans from the molecular level to that of the whole organism. Experimental Gerontology publishes original work in the fields of biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, molecular biology, neurosciences, nutrition, immunology, and endocrinology. The journal also aims at bridging the gap between basic and clinical aspects of gerontology by publishing papers on basic aspects of age-related diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease, atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, benign prostatic hyperplasia and other proliferative and metabolic disorders of the aged. Manuscripts on psychological, social and epidemiological aspects of aging and reports on clinical studies do not fall within the scope of the journal. In addition to original Research Manuscripts, Short Reports, Reviews, Mini-Reviews, Commentaries, Perspectives, Meeting Reports, Opinions on controversial subjects as well as Images of Experimental Gerontology are published. A team of internationally established Editors covering all fields of gerontology is responsible for the scientific quality of this core journal. A competent, fair and fast reviewing process is guaranteed.
