Aims & Scope
The International Journal of Active & Healthy Aging (IJAHA) is a peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal that publishes on the relationship between active and healthy aging and movement. The journal aims to conduct research on the impact of active and healthy aging on individuals from childhood to old age. IJAHA aims to bring together all scientific communities from various disciplines that address health promotion, wellbeing and improvement of quality of life. This journal will bring together data on active and healthy aging across the lifespan, focusing not only on the beneficial effects of being physically active on health and well-being, but also on identifying factors and strategies that have a positive impact on physical activity levels. The journal invites the publication of original research articles, case reports, systematic reviews, meta-analyses and theoretical articles that shed light on the multidimensional aspects of the active and healthy aging process.
International Journal of Active and Healthy Aging (IJAHA) is an international scientific peer-reviewed journal, published four months in electronic format.
• The articles in this journal are published OPEN ACCESS (OA) exclusively in English
• Detailed information on preparation of the manuscript is described in the Instruction for Authors
• IJAHA will be published in 2 issues (June and December) from 2024.
• Ethical Committee Approval in Research: "ETHICAL COMMITTEE APPROVAL” must have been obtained for all disciplines, this approval must be specified and documented in the article.
• "iThenticate" document is mandatory for article submission (Maximum15%).
