Maturitas

Maturitas is an international medical journal devoted to health issues associated with midlife, menopause, ageing, and the post-reproductive stages of life. Established in 1978, it publishes peer-reviewed research for clinicians, researchers, and other health professionals working across disciplines relevant to later-life and reproductive-transition care. Its subject coverage reflects the broad clinical scope of midlife medicine, including topics connected with menopause, post-reproductive health, ageing, andrology, and related areas of women's and men's health. The journal is published monthly by Elsevier. Its publishing model places Maturitas within the professional medical-journal portfolio rather than within a consumer healthcare or pharmaceutical brand category. The title functions as a venue for original research and scholarly communication, with its audience drawn from the international medical and scientific communities. Its identity is also linked to professional societies: Maturitas is the official journal of the European Menopause and Andropause Society and is affiliated with the Australasian Menopause Society. The journal's editorial leadership has included Irene Lambrinoudaki and Leon Flicker as editors-in-chief, according to the cited reference material. Its visibility is partly reflected in indexing and citation metrics. The Wikipedia reference notes that Journal Citation Reports recorded a 2020 impact factor of 4.342. That figure is tied specifically to the 2020 reporting period and should not be treated as a current or permanent performance measure. As a publication brand, Maturitas is positioned around specialist, evidence-based coverage of health during and after the reproductive years. Its primary offering is the journal itself, delivered through scholarly publishing channels, with individual articles and issues forming the practical products associated with the title. No separate consumer product lines, retail operations, corporate subsidiaries, or standalone financial disclosures are identified in the supplied reference material.

Maturitas was established in 1978 as a peer-reviewed medical journal addressing health during midlife and after the reproductive years. Its subject area places it at the intersection of women's health, menopause medicine, ageing, and related clinical disciplines. Over time, the journal's remit has also encompassed andrological and broader midlife-health questions, consistent with its connection to professional organizations representing menopause and andropause medicine. The publication operates as a specialist scholarly title rather than a general medical news outlet. Its central activity is the publication of peer-reviewed research and related academic material for an international audience of health professionals and researchers. The journal is issued monthly, giving it a continuing role in disseminating research on conditions, treatments, clinical practice, and health changes associated with midlife and post-reproductive ageing. Maturitas is published by Elsevier and serves as the official journal of the European Menopause and Andropause Society. It is also affiliated with the Australasian Menopause Society, extending its institutional links beyond Europe to a major professional organization in the Asia-Pacific region. These affiliations reinforce the journal's specialist identity and connect its content with professional discussion about menopause, andropause, and later-life health. Editorial leadership identified in the cited reference material consists of Irene Lambrinoudaki and Leon Flicker, listed as editors-in-chief. The journal has also achieved measurable visibility in academic citation systems. The supplied Wikipedia reference reports a 2020 Journal Citation Reports impact factor of 4.342. Because impact factors change by reporting year and methodology, this statistic describes the 2020 period only and is not a current performance claim. No additional verified information was supplied about the journal's founding editors, circulation, article-processing charges, ownership structure beyond its Elsevier publishing relationship, or recent strategic developments.
