Core tip: A total of 4409 articles were examined to explore the development of World Journal of Gastroenterology (WJG) during 2008-2012. Based on analysis of the relevant indices, this study not only discussed the development and changes of WJG in recent years, but also the characteristics of the published papers and the authors’ origins.
