Aims and Scope
The Journal of Alzheimer's Disease is
an international multidisciplinary journal to facilitate progress in
understanding the etiology, pathogenesis, epidemiology, genetics,
behavior, treatment and psychology of Alzheimer's disease.
The journal publishes research reports, reviews, short
communications, hypotheses, book reviews, and letters-to-the-editor.
The journal is dedicated to providing an open forum for original
research that will expedite our fundamental understanding of
Alzheimer's disease.
Editorial Policy
The primary means of submission is
through mstracker.com (http://mstracker.com/submit1.php?jc=jad). The authors should identify an Associate Editor with expertise in the scope of
the manuscript. The Associate Editor will be responsible for
identifying reviewers and, after receiving reviews, for making a
recommendation on the acceptability of the manuscript for
publication. All final decisions on acceptability will be made
by the Editor-in-Chief. The Associate Editors will be listed in the article
as the Handling Associate Editor. Corresponding authors of accepted
articles may be invited to join JAD as Associate Editors. See Information
for Authors for details.
The Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease is a member of the Neuroscience Peer Review Consortium (http://nprc.incf.org). The Consortium is an alliance of neuroscience journals that have agreed to accept manuscript reviews from each other.
Impact Factor
JAD has an Impact Factor of 5.101 (Journal Citation Reports, 2008).

Audience
JAD's targeted audience is comprised of basic
science researchers and clinicians in the areas of Alzheimer's
disease and related disorders.
Our Cover
For its 2004 cover, JAD editors have chosen Casey Reas, an artist and
educator exploring abstract kinetic systems through diverse digital
media including software, animation, and digital prints (see more of
his work at http://www.groupc.net).
Casey's cover for JAD was generated from a software written specifically
for the journal. It generates thousands of flower-like images and from
these many variations, Casey selected the cover image. The chosen form
and color are a reference to the magnolia flower of Darryl Evan's 2003
cover illustration of Hippocrates, the flying pieces of the Alzheimer's
puzzle and steel magnolia symbolizing the one out of the sixteen Americans
who stand behind the Alzheimer's victim. And so with this motif, the
two covers, past and present, link and illustrate the continuance in
JAD's mission to deliver top-quality science.
