49 title of geriatrics scientific journals in JCR and 112 titles in SCImago were ranked. 38 journals were ranked by this tow international journal's assessment data bases. There was significant positive correlation between impact factor value and SJR of geriatric journals those indexed in Thomson Reuters and Scopus.
