Geriatrics is a monthly medical journal for primary care physicians and geriatricians whose patients include midlife and older adults. Its mission is to provide its physician readers with clinical tools they can use in their practices to deliver quality care for older patients in the community and the long-term care setting. Geriatrics is peer reviewed and is referenced in MedLine®. It is listed in Index Medicus and Current Contents.

The editors of Geriatrics invite original review-style articles by MD or DO authors relating to the clinical care and management of patients aged 50 and older. At least one author must be of assistant professor ranking or higher. Resident, fellow, instructor, and practicing physician coauthors are welcome. Provide full name, principal academic titles, address, e-mail, and phone and fax numbers of all authors.

All authors must disclose all affiliations with or financial interest in any organization or entity with a financial interest in the subject matter under discussion.

Please note: We do not publish original research or case reports.

Manuscripts should be written in a conversational style and target the practical, day-to-day needs of primary care physicians. Acceptable manuscripts are about 2000 words (8-10 pages) in length. Include an abstract of about 125 words summarizing the main points of the article. Tables and figures should be included at the end of the manuscript. Article submission via e-mail attachment is preferred.

Limit references to 20 citations. Cite references in the text in numerical sequence. Please follow AMA style (10th edition). The reference list should go immediately after the body of the article but before the tables and figures.

Submission of the author's unpublished photos, graphs, charts, and tables is encouraged, especially color photos of clinical entities being discussed. Photos must be identified with the author's name, and the top of the photo must be indicated. Authors are not charged for illustrations published with their papers; art selection is determined by the editor. Illustrative materials supplied by the author must be referred to in the text, and figure captions must be supplied.

Manuscripts are considered for acceptance only if contributed solely to Geriatrics. The edited version of accepted manuscripts is sent to authors for approval prior to publication. On acceptance, authors will be asked to sign a copyright statement. Each author receives one complimentary copy of the issue in which the article is published.
