Aging journals. If you want to read the latest research about anti-aging or longevity, you will want to consult scientific and academic journals on the topic.
Why? Researchers and college professors publish their research in these journals. They need to have new articles published on a regular basis if they want a promotion. "Publish or perish" is a well known phrase for most faculty members.
So college faculty send their articles to Aging journals in hopes of having their work accepted for publication. If you want to read the latest research in the field, you need to get copies of these journals. This used to be time consuming and somewhat difficult to do. You had to fill out forms and ask a librarian to request a copy of whatever article you wanted via Inter-library loan. But now you can find most of these journals and articles on the Internet.
First, check the U.S. National Institutes of Health database of articles published in academic journals. You can find this database at the U.S. National Institutes of Health's National Library of Medicine web site. It has an excellent search engine. It can be found at: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/
Second. Once you know which articles you want, check to see if any are published online. Many journals now publish online. Some provide free access to the complete text of their articles. Others only allow free reads of the Abstracts (summaries).
If you find an article that you want to read and the full text is not available on line, go to your local library. Your librarian may be able to find a library that would either lend a copy of the journal or if they are not willing to lend the journal, they may be willing to send a copy of the article you want to your local library.
Consult your local college or university library. College/university libraries subscribe to journals not often found in local libraries so your the college library may have the journals you want. Visit in person. Ask to speak with a librarian and explain what you are looking for and why you need it. Most librarians are willing to help.
If you do not have access to a college or university library, your local public library may be part of an 'inter-library loan' system and that means you library may be able borrow a copy of the journal or they may ask the library with the article you want to make a copy. (Be prepared to pay. Always ask about charges so you are not surprised when the article comes with a bill attached for 'copy services'.)
Remember: your librarian is key to finding what you want. And most librarians delight in doing so. (If you like to read Aging journals research studies, it is worth making friends with your local librarian.)
