The high quality of content published in Drugs & Aging is reflected in the most recent Impact Factor of 4.271 and CiteScore™ of 6.7, placing the journal in the second quartile of the Geriatrics & Gerontology category for IF and the first quartile for CiteScore.

Together with the journal’s Section Editors, I would like to start by thanking the authors of the articles published in Drugs & Aging over the course of 2022.
