GUIDELINES FOR AUTHORS

World Journal of Gastrointestinal Pathophysiology is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access academic journal dedicated to publishing original, high-quality research findings in the field of gastrointestinal pathophysiology and liver physiology, including clinical, translational, and basic studies, as well as research involving artificial intelligence. The journal focuses on, but is not limited to, the following areas: Gastrointestinal pathophysiology (motility disorders, secretion and absorption, mucosal barrier and inflammation, neoplastic pathophysiology), liver physiology (metabolism, bile production, detoxification and drug metabolism, and liver regeneration), gut-liver axis, microbiome sciences, and neurogastroenterology. Types of articles published by the journal include clinical study, basic study, case report, editorial, review, minireview, systematic review, meta-analysis, guidelines, and correspondence. All submissions undergo a rigorous and transparent peer-review process by at least two independent reviewers. Manuscripts are evaluated based on scientific rigor, originality, clinical relevance, and reproducibility, with particular attention to methodological robustness and data integrity. Constructive and timely feedback is provided to ensure the highest standards of scholarly communication. The journal adheres to the highest standards of publication ethics and editorial integrity, in accordance with the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics, the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, and the World Association of Medical Editors. To advance scientific discovery, promote evidence-based clinical practice, and foster innovation in gastrointestinal pathophysiology, ultimately improving global health outcomes. We invite researchers, clinicians, and multidisciplinary experts worldwide to submit high-quality manuscripts and contribute to shaping the future of gastrointestinal pathophysiological science.
