Abstract
As the Editor-in-Chief of World Journal of Gastroenterology, every week prior to a new issue’s online publication, I perform a careful review of all encompassed articles, including the title, clinical and/or research importance, originality, novelty, and ratings by the peer reviewers. Based on this review, I select the papers of choice and suggest pertinent changes (e.g., in the title) to the Company Editors responsible for publication. This process, while time-consuming, is very important for assuring the quality of publications and highlighting important articles that Readers may revisit.

Based on this review, I select the papers of choice, suggest pertinent changes (e.g., in the title), and share my comments with the Company Editors responsible for publication. While time-consuming, this process is crucial for assuring the quality of publications and highlighting important articles that Readers may revisit.
