The study that is related to the biological, physiological and social aspects is referred to as gerontology. There are so many diseases that affect the elderly every year. Many of them are unrecognizable. So to study those diseases and to make a solution for that disease gerontology has been introduced.The study that is related to the biological, physiological and social aspects is referred to as gerontology. There are so many diseases that affect the elderly every year. Many of them are unrecognizable. So to study those diseases and to make a solution for that disease gerontology has been introduced. The multidisciplinary nature of gerontology means that there are a number of subfields, as well as associated fields such as psychology and sociology that overlap with gerontology. Gerontologists view aging in terms of four distinct processes: chronological aging, biological aging, psychological aging, and social aging.
High-impact journals are those considered to be highly influential in their respective fields. The impact factor of journal provides quantitative assessment tool for grading, evaluating, sorting and comparing journals of similar kind. It reflects the average number of citations to recent articles published in science and social science journals in a particular year or period, and is frequently used as a proxy for the relative importance of a journal within its field. It is first devised by Eugene Garfield, the founder of the Institute for Scientific Information. The impact factor of a journal is evaluated by dividing the number of current year citations to the source items published in that journal during the previous two years.
