Types of Contributions Accepted

We welcome a broad range of manuscript types that reflect the diverse needs of the gastroenterology research and clinical community:

• Original Research Articles that introduce new clinical findings, epidemiological data, or translational research outcomes.
• Systematic and Narrative Reviews that synthesize existing literature to provide critical perspectives on emerging trends.
• Case Studies and Case Series that highlight unique presentations, diagnostic challenges, or therapeutic innovations.
• Technical Notes on advancements in imaging, endoscopy, or surgical procedures.
• Short Communications offering preliminary data or pilot study outcomes.
• Editorials and Viewpoints by invited experts addressing controversial topics or emerging clinical debates.

Each submission must contribute to the broader discourse in gastroenterology and support the advancement of healthcare delivery.

The journal encourages submissions from all regions and values research that addresses the global burden of gastrointestinal diseases. We are especially interested in studies focused on low- and middle-income settings, healthcare disparities, epidemiologic transitions, and region-specific GI health issues.

International collaboration and interdisciplinary research are strongly encouraged to foster the exchange of ideas and practices that can be adapted across healthcare systems.
