Show abstract
Aging, geriatrics, gerontology, and related areas are important areas of research as the population of older people increases in relationship to the total population. Researchers in these fields would benefit from guidance regarding sources for publishing and finding relevant scholarly journals and articles. Multiple database sites of journals were searched to provide a list of relevant publications. This list was expanded via perusal of published citation lists and searches in general search engines. A total of 243 journals were identified and examined. Of those journals, 198 journals are currently publishing and 45 journals have ceased publication. In terms of publication medium, 39% of the currently publishing journals are online-only, 4% are print-only and 59% of the journals publish both online and in print. Journals with aging in the title represent 36%, geriatrics 30% and gerontology 23%. Less than 10% have been identified as predatory journals. An expected increase in journals in the broad field of aging is indicated by the 49% of listed titles beginning in 2000 or later. This recent increase in available journals provides a need for the information listed in this paper.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
