Letters to the Editor
Responses to published articles, additional data, or brief communications on timely topics in aging research and geriatric medicine.
Pre-Submission Checklist
Ensure your manuscript is ready for submission by verifying all required components are complete and properly formatted. This checklist helps expedite the review process and reduces the likelihood of desk rejection.
Publication Timeline: From Submission to Publication
We are committed to transparent, efficient publishing. Our streamlined process ensures your aging research reaches the global community quickly while maintaining rigorous quality standards.
Submission & Initial Screening
Your manuscript is checked for completeness, formatting compliance, and scope alignment. Plagiarism screening via iThenticate (similarity index must be below 30%).
0-3 daysEditor Assignment
An editor with expertise in your specific area of aging research (cellular aging, geriatric medicine, longevity, etc.) is assigned to handle your manuscript.
3-5 daysPeer Review
Expert reviewers in gerontology and aging research evaluate your manuscript for scientific rigor, methodological soundness, and contribution to the field.
14-21 daysEditorial Decision
Based on reviewer feedback, the editor makes a decision: Accept, Minor Revisions, Major Revisions, or Reject. You receive detailed reviewer comments and editor recommendations.
21-28 days from submissionRevision & Re-review
If revisions are requested, you submit your revised manuscript with a point-by-point response to reviewer comments. The editor or reviewers evaluate your revisions.
14 days (after revision submission)Acceptance & Production
Once accepted, your manuscript enters production: copyediting, typesetting, and final proofing. You review and approve the final proof before publication.
10-14 daysOnline Publication
Your article is published online with a DOI, immediately accessible worldwide. Indexed in major databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science) within weeks.
~60 days total from submissionAverage Timeline: Most manuscripts receive a first decision within 21 days and are published within 60 days of initial submission. Fast-track options available for time-sensitive aging research with significant clinical or public health implications.
Quality Assurance & Research Integrity
JARH is committed to maintaining the highest standards of research integrity and ethical publishing practices in aging research.
Rigorous Peer Review
All manuscripts reviewed by at least two independent experts in gerontology, geriatric medicine, or relevant aging research disciplines.
Plagiarism Screening
Every submission screened using iThenticate. Manuscripts with similarity index above 30% returned for revision before peer review.
Ethics Compliance
Strict adherence to ethical guidelines for human and animal research. All studies must have appropriate ethics approval.
Data Transparency
