The Journal of Alzheimer’s Research and Therapy welcomes submissions throughout the year from researchers, clinicians, and multidisciplinary teams working across Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.
Regular submissions are accepted throughout the year.

How Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias arise and progress.
- Molecular and cellular pathophysiology
- Genetics and risk
- Neuroinflammation
- Cellular and animal models
- 02
Detection
How the disease is recognized, measured and predicted.
- Biomarkers
- Neuroimaging
- Cognitive assessment
- Risk prediction
- 03
Treatment
How the disease is treated and how treatments are evaluated.
- Clinical trials
- Drug discovery
- Therapeutic development
- Disease-modifying approaches
- 04
Care
How people living with dementia and their families are supported.
- Caregiver outcomes
- Quality of life
- Non-drug interventions
- Digital health and AI in care

Replication studies and well-explained negative results are welcome when they strengthen the evidence base.
What editors look for
- A clear research question linked to mechanisms, detection, treatment or care in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.
- An appropriate study design with transparent inclusion criteria and statistical methods.
- Results reported in enough detail for replication or secondary analysis.
- A discussion of what the findings mean for clinical practice, caregivers or future research.
- Ethics and data-availability statements that meet journal and funder expectations.
Single-blind by default; double-blind review is available on request. Manuscripts that proceed to external peer review are normally evaluated by at least two independent subject-matter experts.
