Gastroenterology publishes clinical and basic studies of all aspects of the digestive system, including the liver and pancreas, as well as nutrition. The types of articles Gastroenterology publishes include original papers, review articles, and special category manuscripts. Manuscripts must be prepared in accordance with the "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals" developed by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (http://www.icmje.org). Gastroenterologyis a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) (http://www.publicationethics.org).
Gastroenterology strongly encourages the submission of papers on a breadth of clinical topics in gastroenterology, hepatology, endoscopy, randomized controlled trials (phases II-IV but typically not phase I), high-quality observational studies, and novel case series.
Gastroenterology is interested in all aspects of clinical trials including treatment, prevention, diagnosis, screening, and quality of life. High-quality meta-analyses are also welcome. Publication priority will be determined by factors such as novelty, impact upon clinical practice, strength of the experimental design, and mechanistic insight.
Gastroenterology is interested in all aspects of high impact translational and basic studies that would be of interest to our broad readership. These aspects include defining a critical physiologic or disease process/pathway, or mechanism for disease progression or protection; identifying a genetic cause, modifier, or association with disease; describing a novel experimental disease model; characterizing a novel GI-related mechanism of drug action; preclinical studies that describe a potential novel therapy, diagnostic, or prognostic marker or tool that is related a disease.
Gastroenterology has a total circulation of approximately 17,000-about 12,000 in the United States and 5,000 in other countries. 80% of subscribers are AGA members. In the United States, about 75% of subscribers are physicians, and about 25% of subscriptions go to residents, medical schools, and libraries. About 68% of the papers published originate overseas.
Gastroenterology is abstracted and indexed in Biological Abstracts, CABS, Chemical Abstracts, Current Contents, Excerpta Medica, Index Medicus, Nutrition Abstracts, and Science Citation Index.
Gastroenterology is the highest-ranking journal for original GI, hepatology and nutrition research in the 2018 Journal Citation Reports, published by Clarivate Analytics, and has an Impact Factor of 19.809. Its immediacy index, which is a measure of how topical and urgent work published in Gastroenterology is, is 4.003, one of the highest in the field. On average, authors receive decisions on their manuscripts within three weeks.

INFORMATION ABOUT ARTICLE TYPES
All manuscripts must be submitted via http://www.editorialmanager.com/gastro
Original Articles
Original Articles are full-length reports of original research. Articles cover topics relevant to clinical, basic, and translational studies in these areas of interest. They may discuss nutrition, immunology, cell biology, molecular biology, morphology, physiology, pathophysiology, epidemiology, imaging, or therapy. Both adult and pediatric problems are included. To be published, the work presented in the manuscript must be original; on occasion, confirmatory studies of timely and important observations will also be acceptable. Submissions must adhere to the following guidelines:
Manuscript: only Microsoft Word documents will be accepted.
Title page: title; authors' names; authors' institutions; corresponding author contact information; conflict of interest statement (for all authors); author contributions to manuscript; statement of whether data, analytic methods, and study materials will or will not be made available to other researchers. If study materials will be made available, specify where they will be made available.
Word count:7,000 words (inclusive of main text; references; table/figure legends).
Approximately 1,000 words of the total count should appear in the "Materials and Methods" section of the manuscript.
Materials and Methods should be placed immediately after the Introduction.
Abstract: 260 words, structured as follows: background and aims; methods; results; conclusion; 4-5 keywords.
Tables/Figures: seven tables (no panels) and/or figures total.
Please submit figures as separate attachments in JPEG, TIFF, EPS, or PDF formats (300 PPI resolution).
The editor reserves the right to publish excessively long tables as online-only material.
References: please list names of authors who share first authorship in bold text. In addition, include the phrase "Author names in bold designate shared co-first authorship" at the end of the references section. Gastroenterology requires authors to cite underlying or relevant datasets in their manuscript by citing them in the text and including a data reference in the Reference List. Data references should include the following elements: author name(s), dataset title, data repository, version (where available), year, and global persistent identifier. Add [dataset] immediately before the reference so we can properly identify it as a data reference. The [dataset] identifier will not appear in your published article.
What You Need to Know: This note will appear as a box on the second page of the published version of each article, containing brief summarizations about your study under the following 4 headings: BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT, NEW FINDINGS, LIMITATIONS, and IMPACT. Please provide 25-30 words (about one sentence) under each of these 4 headings that very briefly and simply summarize your study in relation to each category. These should lack abbreviations and have clear language explaining the importance of your results to clinicians/researchers not familiar with your specialty area
Lay summary: Please prepare a concise "lay summary" of the article's findings. It should be 25-30 words (about one sentence) and very briefly summarize the article's main findings in simple lay terms. You will upload this summary on the Editorial Manager website when you submit your revision. It will appear on the Gastroenterology table of contents if your paper is ultimately accepted and may be used in social media promotions.
Randomized Controlled Trials: Provide CONSORT checklist and patient flowchart as supplemental attachments.
Clinical Trials:
Provide the clinical trial registry website and trial number at the end of the "conclusions" section of the abstract.
Include a statement in the "methods" section of the manuscript affirming that "all authors had access to the study data and reviewed and approved the final manuscript.
Include the clinical trial protocol in English as a supplemental attachment.
Gastroenterologyrequires that clinical trial reports address the authors' intent to share deidentified individual participant data. To that end, authors must include a Data Sharing Statement on the title page under the heading "Data Transparency Statement". The statement should include the following information:
If deidentified individual participant data be shared
Which particular data will be shared
Any additional documents that will be shared
The method through which data will be shared
The timeframe during which data will be accessible
The conditions, if any, required to access to the data
"Deidentified individual participant data are available indefinitely at www.example.org. The study protocol, analytic code?[etc.] are also available at the same website."
"Deidentified individual participant data that underlie the reported results will be made available 3 months after publication for a period of 5 years after the publication date at www.example.org. The study protocol is included as a data supplement available with the online version of this article."
"Individual participant data will not be shared."
Registration
In accordance with the guidelines set forth by ICMJE, authors of manuscripts involving clinical trials must provide full registration of their trial(s). A clinical trial is defined as any research project that prospectively assigns human subjects to intervention and comparison groups to study the cause-and-effect relationship between a medical intervention and a health outcome. The trial must have at least one prospectively assigned concurrent control or comparison group in order to trigger the requirement for registration. Appropriate online registries include https://clinicaltrials.gov/, http://www.isrctn.com/, http://www.umin.ac.jp/ctr/index.htm, http://www.anzctr.org.au/,http://www.trialregister.nl/trialreg/index.asp, or any primary registers that participate in the World Health Organization's International Clinical Trial Platform.

Mentoring, Education, and Training Corner
This section focuses on the education, development, and support of young learners and proteges in the field of digestive disease. Expert guest authors will provide reviews on a wide array of topics including career opportunities, steps for success, gender and ethnic diversity, training updates, and balancing home and work life. The material presented in this section will be organized by overarching themes. Submissions are by invitation only, but email inquiries (gastro@gastro.org) by prospective authors will be considered.
Editorials
Editorials express opinions on current topics of interest or provide comments on papers published elsewhere in the same issue. Submissions are by invitation only.
Reviews in Basic and Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology
Brief and Full Reviews are solicited by the board of editors and no unsolicited reviews will be considered.
Covering the Cover
This section provides a general preview of two clinical articles and two basic articles that appear in each issue and are of particular importance to our readership. As it is written by the section editors, no unsolicited submissions will be considered.
Selected Summaries
Selected Summaries are concise, expert overviews of articles recently published in other journals, books, and digital media that are of potential interest to our readership. Summaries are primarily written by a regular staff of contributors selected by the Section Editors.
Clinical Practice Updates
This section provides authoritative, balanced, and comprehensive narrative reviews and rapid commentaries derived from the following sources: a) proposed guidelines which do not meet criteria for guideline grading; b) topics generated by the Clinical Practice Updates Committee (CPUC), Gastroenterology editors, and other AGA committees and members; c) summaries of important symposia (e.g., Freston Conference). As topics and authors are selected by CPUC, the AGA Institute Governing Board, and the Clinical Guidelines Committee, submissions are by invitation only.
Potential subjects for these articles will derive from several sources in coordination with the AGA Institute Clinical Guidelines Committee. First, important topics that are initially proposed for an AGA guideline but do not meet rigid criteria for guideline grading will be sent to CPUC for review and consideration. Second, ideas for topics will be generated by CPUC and Gastroenterology editors as well as other AGA committees and members. Third, summaries of important symposia (e.g., Freston Conference) will be included. Topics can be presented in the form of a comprehensive, narrative review or-for particularly timely issues in gastroenterology, hepatology, and health care in general-as a rapid commentary.
All prospective topics and selected authors will be approved by CPUC with guidance from the AGA Institute Governing Board. At least two authors, from different institutions, who are recognized authorities will be invited to write an article. It is anticipated that the authors will often have differing opinions to help ensure balance and achieve consensus. A member of CPUC with expertise in the field will guide the writing to ensure the highest quality and greatest balance in the final product. Once an article is written, it will be submitted for evaluation by Gastroenterology editors, who will decide whether to accept the paper or send it for further review prior to acceptance. With seasoned and motivated authors and the guidance of CPUC, these outstanding reviews will be published in a timely manner and provide Gastroenterology readers the most up-to-date and scholarly information across the spectrum of gastroenterology, hepatology, and nutrition.
Commentaries
Commentaries express perspectives or provide information on current topics of interest in the field of GI and hepatology. They may be solicited or unsolicited.
Title Page: title; authors' names (limit of three); authors' institutions; corresponding author contact information; conflict of interest statement (for all authors).
Abstract: no abstract
Word Count: 2,400 (inclusive of main text and table/figure legends).
