Alzheimer's & Dementia

The mission of Alzheimer's & Dementia: Journal of the Alzheimer's Association is to bridge the knowledge gaps across a wide range of bench-to-bedside investigation. The journal publishes the results of studies in: behavior, biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, pharmacology, physiology, protein chemistry, neurology, neuropathology, psychiatry, geriatrics, neuropsychology, epidemiology, sociology, health services research, health economics, political science and public policy. Content emphasizes interdisciplinary investigations, integrative/translational articles, related to: etiology, risk factors, early detection, disease modifying interventions, prevention of dementia and applications of new technologies in health services.

The journal publishes

• comprehensive reviews;
• research articles;
• information on clinical trials;
• short reports;
• in-depth perspectives/open-peer commentaries;
• theoretical and/or translational papers that attempt integrate knowledge across discipline;
• history & politics of science/brief biographies;
• abstracts of papers presented at international meetings; and
• negative results, particularly clinical trials, as short communications.

The ultimate objective is to create a novel forum for:

• rapid communication of new findings, ideas or perspectives;
• disseminating knowledge, across the spectrum of basic to clinical studies, necessary for optimal translation of research findings into practical applications/interventions;
• integrating knowledge across disciplines;
• increase knowledge in diverse disciplines to promote early detection/diagnosis and/or interventions;
• formulating new theories and/or strategies for the rigorous testing of theories or their predictions;
• identifying promising new directions of research;
• providing the scientific impetus for new initiatives; and
• public policies concerning research on prevention and new models of health services.
