Journal Guide

Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics is an international journal of gastroenterology and hepatology. The journal accepts original papers and systematic reviews concerned with clinical gastroenterology, hepatology and endoscopy. AP&T is particularly interested in therapies and diagnostics, including all aspects of translation from bench to bedside: identification of novel therapeutic targets, epidemiology, clinical trials, drug safety and meta-analyses.

The American Journal of Physiology-Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology publishes original articles pertaining to all aspects of research involving normal or abnormal function of the gastrointestinal tract, hepatobiliary system, and pancreas. Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts dealing with growth and development, digestion, secretion, absorption, metabolism, and motility relative to these organs, as well as research reports dealing with immune and inflammatory processes and with neural, endocrine, and circulatory control mechanisms that affect these organs. Reports of research utilizing molecular biological, cell biological, immunological, biochemical, and morphological approaches that contribute to knowledge of normal physiology or pathophysiology of these organs are especially welcomed. Research ranging from molecular and cellular events to whole animal studies and translational studies in human samples is appropriate.

In an effort to distribute its content to the widest audience possible, CMGH is an open access, all-digital journal. We will maximize our digital platform by including graphical abstracts, animated illustrations, large data sets, and video microscopy, endoscopy, and whole animal imaging approaches. Initially, CMGH will be a bi-monthly publication, moving to a monthly publication in its second year. CMGH will debut its first issue in January 2015. Our editors will rapidly and fairly review submissions with the assistance of an expert editorial board and external reviews. Following rigorous peer review, accepted manuscripts will be published online within days of the final decision.

CMGH is led by Jerrold R. Turner, MD, PhD, AGAF (The University of Chicago) and Associate Editors James R. Goldenring, MD, PhD, AGAF (Vanderbilt University School of Medicine) and Rebecca G. Wells, MD (University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine). For more information about their experience and areas of research, read their biosketches on the http://cmghjournal.org/content/board-of-editors-biosBoard of Editors page.

Drs. Turner, Goldenring, and Wells will also draw from the vast experience of their advisory committee, which is composed of AGA president and past editor-in-chief of Gastroenterology Anil K. Rustgi, MD, AGAF, AGA past-president Mark Donowitz, MD, AGAF, AGA vice president and past editor-in-chief of Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Michael Camilleri, MD, AGAF, current editor-in-chief of Gastroenterology, Bishr Omary, PhD, MD, AASLD past president James Boyer, MD, and accomplished investigator and Outstanding AGA Women in Science inductee Susan Henning, PhD, AGAF.

CMGH is open for submissions on June 1, 2014. Submit your manuscript at www.editorialmanager.com/cmghwww.editorialmanager.com/cmgh.

The mission of Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology (CGH) is to provide readers with a broad spectrum of themes in clinical gastroenterology and hepatology, including the diagnostic, endoscopic, interventional, and therapeutic advances in cancer, inflammatory diseases, functional gastrointestinal disorders, nutrition, absorption, and secretion.This peer-reviewed journal includes original articles as well as scholarly reviews, with the goal that all articles published will be immediately relevant to practice of the specialties of gastroenterology and hepatology. In addition to peer-reviewed articles, the journal includes invited key reviews and articles on endoscopy/practice-based technology, health-care policy, and practice management. Additionally, the journal's Coding Corner offers professionals in GI practice answers to common coding and billing questions. Multimedia offerings include images, video abstracts, and podcasts. CGH also provides updates and commentary via Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and its research blog The AGA Journals Blog.CGH is ranked 8th out of 74 journals in the Gastroenterology and Hepatology category on the 2012 Journal Citation Reports®, published by Thomson Reuters, and has an Impact Factor of 6.6. On average, authors receive decisions on their manuscripts in under two weeks. CGH has an acceptance rate of 12% and is circulated to 20,300 individuals and institutions worldwide.

Clinics and Research in Hepatology and Gastroenterology (formerly Gastroentérologie Clinique et Biologique: title change in january 2011) publishes high quality papers in the field of hepatology and gastroenterology in English language. The editors put the accent on rapid communication of new research and clinical developments and so called "hot topic" issues. Following a clear Editorial line, besides original articles and case reports, each issue features editorials, commentaries, a seminar, mini-reviews, pictorial reviews and several keynotes. The journal encourages research and discussion between all those involved in the specialty on an international level. Articles in press are online and indexed in the international databases (Current Contents, Pubmed, Scopus, Science Direct).

A perfect source to consult for those in the fields of gastroenterology and hepatology, Clinics in Liver Disease provides answers to clinical questions, information on the latest diagnostic methods and treatments, and numerous clinical images.

This journal aims to review the most important, recently published clinical findings related to the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of colorectal cancer. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care of those with the disease.

We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as prevention and early detection, current and emerging therapeutic approaches, and molecular epidemiology. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
