| Annotation | The authors examine the bibliographic structure of recent research on later-life migration, highlighting the contribution of particular journals and disciplines. They identify the primary journals publishing research in this area, including four core core journals in the field of social gerontology (Journals of Gerontology: Social Sciences, Research on Ageing, Journal of Applied Gerontology, and The Gerontologist). They evaluate the disciplinary affiliations of authors publishing in these core journals and the extent to which those journals cite relevant research published elsewhere. Geographical and economic perspectives on later-life migration are under-represented within the core journals on social gerontology. In particular, major articles published outside the core journals are seldom cited within these journals. Although the core journals of social gerontology account for more than a third of the recent literature on later-life migration, they present only a partial (chiefly sociological) perspective on the subject.
