Editorial Board

Each year, editors are invited to renew their membership on the editorial board and to disclose any conflicts of interest. Geriatrics, Gerontology and Aging adopts an opt-in approach, allowing editorial board members to voluntarily self-identify their pronouns for inclusion on the journal's website as a demonstration of respect and commitment to inclusivity.

 
EDITOR IN CHIEF
 


Responsibilities: Ensure that the journal's content is objective and innovative. Recommend and play a decision-making role in approving the selection of associate and consultant editors. Reject manuscripts suspected of plagiarism, ghostwritten, or published elsewhere. Act as the handling editor of submissions from members of the editorial board, ensuring that the peer review is transparent. The position lasts four years (2023-2027). The Brazilian Society of Geriatrics and Gerontology (SBGG) invites candidates to apply for the position through a comprehensive, transparent, and open process, as provided for in the journal's Internal Regulations.

SCIENTIFIC EDITORS
 


Responsibilities: Review and ratify the editorial recommendations of handling editors. Whenever possible, verify that the process has been carried out without the interference of potential conflicts of interest. Ensure that the content of manuscripts with 'accept' recommendations does not present major conceptual or methodological problems undetected in previous editorial phases. When necessary, recommend revisions and corrections or reject submissions that have received favorable recommendations when serious flaws are found. They are selected by the editor-in-chief upon recommendation, based on their expertise in editorial, methodological, and content matters.

EXECUTIVE EDITORS


Responsibilities: Periodically review, plan, and execute the journal's Editorial Sustainability Plan. Executive editors should preferably be 2 to 5 members, including the Editor-in-Chief, scientific editors, and at least two experienced GGA editors. To speed up the screening process for new submissions, the last two will be responsible for the first screening, considering the journal's scope and minimum requirements for clarity, scientific merit, and national/international relevance and impact.

ASSOCIATE EDITORS
 


Responsibilities: After being assigned to handle a submission, associated editors act as handling editors and will provide a second screening of the manuscript's importance, originality, clarity, and relevance. They will select and invite external referees with known methodological and content expertise in the field of each manuscript. After receiving the reviewers' responses, they recommend an editorial decision: revise, accept, or decline the submission. Reasons for declining shall include referees' comments. Still, handling editors can decline a paper if the manuscript is outside the journal's scope, does not meet the journal's quality standards, has limited scientific merit, lacks originality or novel information, or includes data collection expiration periods. They are selected by the executive editors based on their editorial, methodological, and content expertise, as well as their contributions to advancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in editorial roles.
